Science Fair Lessons, Part 2: Reverence
When I went to interview for my position with the Yankees, I showed up in a brand-new suit and tie. I was interviewing for a job that would have me in a weight room or on a baseball field 90% of the time. Nobody told me I needed to dress up. In fact the guy…

Science Fair Lessons, Part 1:
I spent a lot of time at the skating rink growing up. That eventually led to me joining a speed skating team, something I’d long dreamed of doing. In preparing us for any race or meet we had, my coach Sam Johnson would always repeat the phrase “Skate through the line.” Most adults know what…

18 Summers is Bogus
You’ve probably heard the idea that we only get 18 summers with our kids. It’s everywhere. The message is simple: Make the most of the time you have, because once your kids grow up, that’s it. When I first heard it, I nodded along. It made sense. It even felt motivating. But the more I…

What’s the Cost of Staying Stuck?
There’s a saying in the health and fitness world that goes like this: “Don’t sacrifice your health in pursuit of wealth, otherwise you’ll spend all your wealth trying to regain your health.” There’s an interesting bit of psychology hidden beneath that quote – the pursuit of wealth, which I’ll categorize as money, provides a fairly…

From the Yankees to Platforms in Spain
While cleaning out our attic recently, I came across a photo of me demonstrating a back squat. The kids noticed that I was wearing a New York Yankees shirt and asked what that was from.

A Call to Lead at Home
Did you know that your family is your first and most important ministry? I’ll never forget sitting in church one day, hearing my Pastor talk about family in this way. For many dads, success is measured in promotions, profits, or professional recognition. But too often, we forget to ask the question: Am I succeeding where…

Teach Your Kids How to Drive a Manual Transmission
When I’m coaching, teaching, and working with others, I often find that a lot of my methods and analogies come from the automotive world. This is as much by chance as it is design. I had a friend ask me once if I had any advice for raising good, hardworking kids. Of course I mentioned…

Why Dads Are Essential in Homeschooling: Lessons from My Journey Walking this Road
I recently wrote about our family’s journey with homeschool thus far, where I ended by calling on other dads to get involved in the homeschool journey.
