Captain Comeback Signs with the Garage Door Sports Team

Former University of Michigan standout quarterback and NFL veteran, Jim Harbaugh recently agreed to join the Northern Michigan sporting goods company of Garage Door Sports™.
Through a storied NFL career, Harbaugh became famous for his fourth quarter heroics in coming from behind to lead his team to victory, hence his moniker “Captain Comeback”. Drafted by the Chicago Bears in 1987, his career spanned 15 seasons and several teams including the Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens, San Diego Chargers, and Carolina Panthers. In 1995, when with the Colts, he was voted to the Pro Bowl while throwing for 14 touchdowns and over 2500 yards.

Garage Door Sports™, located in Charlevoix, produces sports target systems for hockey, baseball, football, and soccer designed to increase skill sets and encourage kids to have fun while practicing. “We feel that Jim is a natural fit, with his positive attitude and being an ambassador of the game to children, to help us grow as a company and aid in our product’s evolution.” Says Vice President of Sales and Marketing Daniel Fenwick, “We are very excited and fortunate to have him on board.”

“The GDS products are fundamental to the development of so many aspects of a kids game…hand-eye coordination, read and recognition, footwork etc. and besides kids have a blast playing with the targets” says Harbaugh, “in fact, if I had the baseball pitching target as a youngster, maybe my career would’ve taken a different path.”
