Ingrid Harbaugh has had to navigate being a coach's wife while also teaching her daughter Alison about being a coach's kid. Following a difficult playoff game where the Baltimore Ravens lost on a last-second play, Ingrid had to prepare her daughter for dealing with the potential taunts from classmates. "All you need to say is, 'I'm very proud of my dad. I'm very proud of the team,'" the mother said in an interview with iVillage.

The married couple has had a superstitious ritual for decades that predates the coach's time with the Ravens. "John and I, since we've known each other... We always signal each other before a game," Ingrid revealed, "He blows me a kiss, and I blow him a kiss and he gives me a thumbs up." The Harbaughs even have a contingency plan for away games where John calls his wife from the locker room before taking the field.

Ingrid also shared some advice for other women who are married to football fanatics and want to squeeze in some quality time. "If you want to spend four hours with your husband on Sunday, you may want to watch a game with them and start to understand it," she said. Being a coach's wife, especially at such a high level, is no easy task, but Ingrid Harbaugh definitely has it figured out.
