Baby Goes Pro on CNN HLN "What Matters with Richelle Carey". - December 2nd, 2010 - Our founder was invited to discuss the benefits of children participating in sports at a young age. When questioned about the choice of the name Baby Goes Pro suggesting that babies who watch will turn pro, Gigi responded "When Baby Einstein came up with the name, they didn't suggest babies who watched would turn into Einstein". She shared the extreme challenges of becoming a successful professional athlete, which she knows first hand, and the very low odds facing athletes. Gigi joked that "if anyone could bottle up the recipe for becoming a professional athlete, they would be a gizillionaire". She emphasized that the mission of the company is to encourage kids to lead active healthy lifestyles and starting young will set them off on the right path. She shared our view that leading an active lifestyle from a young age is the answer to our childhood obesity epidemic. Back to Top
