But he’s more than just a coach. This summer, he showed the world that he is also a humanitarian. Harbaugh spent a week in Peru helping to buil shelters for the poor. He also helped fellow humanitarians buil a new roof for an orphanage and packed food bags that will be distributed to families who really need them. Each bag should feed a family for a month.

Of course, it wasn’t all hard work. Harbaugh also played football with the locals, and he says that the game turned into what he calls “Peru Ball.” He plans to return next year with the whole family.
