Leo is a successful basketball coach from Texas, but growing up, he grappled with one unanswered question: "Why did my dad leave me?" His father was a famous heavyweight prizefighter but had no idea how to fight for his son's heart. Leo joins John and Allen to talk about the long road to healing—including a devastating sports injury, facing the long-lost son that he, too, abandoned, and his unexpected encounter with the Father he'd always longed for. Leo's story is featured in episode 3 of Wild at Heart: The Series.
