First and Goal Seminars…What Is First and Goal, Really?

What is First and Goal?

It all began the year that the Colts and the Bears played in the Super Bowl. IHM founder, Estelle Keese AKA, the Internet’s Mama E, was teaching a class on Super Bowl Sunday. … Talk about dedication to a mission!

In Mama E’s words, “This was a group of singles and couples who had come together on Super Bowl Sunday to witness the first ever First And Goal Focus Group. This was the beginning session of a concept that grew to become First And Goal Seminars. This very energetic group of men and women had come together to talk about their relationships. The purpose was more about relationship enhancement than to provide a fix or mend “problem” relationships.

My idea was to use the American style of football terms and situations from how the game is played to focus on strengthening relationships. Football can become a more perfect medium than one would imagine, for creating analogies for couples interactions during their experience of a relationship.

During the discussions we explored scenes from relationships that many of us have experienced. We discussed how various football terms could be compared to our living out the dozens of experiences that evolve as our relationships grow.

The outcome of that initial First And Goal Seminar was an invigorating, interactive and exciting growth experience for all the couples who attended. It was hilarious and yet it was informational.”




Imagine questions like these being tossed around a group of men and women talking about their relationship experiences:

  • Who is the quarterback in your relationship?
  • Who calls the plays?
  • Are you trying to play without huddling?
  • Are there too many players on the field?
  • Has unsportsmanlike conduct ever been experienced in your relationship?
  • Do you have a mentor or relationship coach who can call in plays from the bench?

  • This provides a very small glimpse of the power of First and Goal Seminars©. From this amazingly simple beginning First And Goal Seminars, and soon, “First and Goal-The Book”, and “First And Goal – the Game” continues to grow and impressive following among a diverse group of fans.

    Who’s invited to become a player? Just about anyone:

  • Company Managers, seeking a different approach to Corporate Team Building Retreats
  • Church Leaders, in search of Out Of The Box Programing to grow new interest for Marriage Ministries that are not reaching their full potential
  • Single or Married Individuals interested in achieving the breakthroughs they’ve dreamed about for years!


  • Whether or not you’re a fan of the game of football, you will find this highly interactive game a fun way to learn relationship skills for nearly any group, be it singles, married couples, young adults or seniors. And few team building experiences provide takeaways with the impact of First And Goal!

    First And Goal is for YOU!
