Former Rams QB Jeff Kemp Kicks Off the NFL Pre-Season With Honolulu Blitz



HONOLULU - August 1, 2019 - (Newswire.com)

​​​Jeff Kemp's blood simmers at this time of the year, and it'll come to full boil during "NFL Pre-Season Week" in Honolulu. He'll be speaking at eight events and rallies in Honolulu from Aug. 13-18. He'll also be at Aloha Stadium on Saturday as his former team, the Los Angeles Rams, locks horns with the Dallas Cowboys in the first Hawaii NFL pre-season game in 43 years.

In the spirit of Aloha, the Jeff Kemp Team Honolulu Blitz aims to uplift students and athletes, dads and coaches, men and marriages. A team of organizations is hosting Jeff on a wave of Aloha Spirit to celebrate Faith, Family and Football.

In his 11 NFL seasons, Kemp proved, against huge odds as a free agent, that he knows how to win as a team. He quarterbacked the Rams to the playoffs in 1984 and helped lead the playoff-bound San Francisco 49ers in 1986, tossing 11 touchdowns in six games while replacing the injured Joe Montana. Kemp also played for the Seattle Seahawks and the Philadelphia Eagles.

After football, he's spent almost three decades leading organizations to strengthen families, marriages and men. He's a Fatherhood Ambassador for the Fatherhood CoMission and serves men, CEOs and organizations through Jeff Kemp Team.

His father, the late Jack Kemp, was a championship Buffalo Bills quarterback before having a widely admired political career as a U.S. Congressman, member of President Ronald Reagan's cabinet and candidate for Vice President. Measuring up to that status was impossible for Jeff.

"I've been benched, booed, traded and cut. I learned the hard way that my identity and worth are not in my title or performance."

Jeff openly relates to students, Millennials and men who feel the pressure of bullying, comparison, isolation and not feeling valued or loved.

"We all have insecurities and flaws … the struggles of pride, selfishness and destructive habits. I want everyone to know that they are valuable and loved. We don't have to be the 'star' or have the most 'likes' to be ourselves."

Jeff will bring humor, honesty and hope as he tells stories of football, family and faith. He's the author of Facing the Blitz – Three Strategies for Turning Trials into Triumphs. Jeff and his wife, Stacy, have four married sons.

"I loved the intensity and teamwork of the NFL. But, even more, I love building families and teamwork to grow champions who receive love and give love. That's why the Jeff Kemp Team is in Hawaii." Here's what others are saying about Honolulu Blitz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_vRNplxWPk.
