Only 3 things matter in youth sports
Love of the gameCharacter developmentSkill progression... in that order ..
Sport is an undeniably great medium to inject life lessons into our kids
The lessons I learned playing sports as a kid laid a foundation for the character I carry today as a 32 year old man. I am beyond grateful to have had parents who “got it” and optimized my experience for character development above all else.
I’m striving to give the same to my kid - and I want to help you do the same.
Unfortunately, 80% of kids who play sports quit by age 12..
robbing them of the opportunity to continue playing a game they once loved
and to further build their character through it.
My goal is for us to fix this issue moving forward.
In youth sports, only 3 things matter (in this order!):
Love of the GameCharacter DevelopmentSkill ProgressionFollow me on this….
If we make sports fun..
they maintain and grow their love of the game
they want to play
they want to practice
they practice on their own in the back yard
they're engaged
meaning they actually care when coach talks
because they care about the game and want to get better
so they listen to the character development stuff
we teach them about how to work hard
how to practice hard
how to be a great team mate
how to respond to adversity and failure
how to compete and win
which makes it more fun, by the way,
and because they're having fun
and they want to come back
and they understand how to work hard
and how to practice hard
and how to work as a team
and how to compete
Aad how to learn from mistakes
then the output of all of that
Is them getting better at the game!
and then…
THIS IS THE MAGIC PART RIGHT HERE
as they get better at the game
the game becomes more fun
because everything is more fun when you get better at it
and because they’re having more fun
they play longer
providing more opportunity to build character
which ultimately makes them better at the game
and the cycle continues….
… it’s a beautifully vicious cycle
and it’s my mini manifesto on sports.
In today’s episode I go deep on this!!

Today is the day - Dad the Man 2.0 is official live!
In today’s episode we’ll cover three quick things:
Where we came from - The Dad the Man origin story (Clif’s notes version) (1:55)Where we’ve been - Why we took 6 months off (8:05)Where we’re headed - What you can expect from Dad the Man 2.0 (12:30)Said very simply, Dad the Man is THE place for us dads on a lifelong pursuit of excellence at home, at work, at church, and everywhere in between to get together and get better
…. think “personal development for dads through a Christian world-view.”
This isn’t about us, it’s about them (them = those who depend on us)
We all have a lot going on —> We’ve all been blessed with a lot of responsibility
And we owe it to those who rely on us to be our best.
Our wives, kids, family, friends, coworkers, teams, churches….
… they all deserve our best … they all deserve our fastball
This show is my own exploration into being my best
And learning how to expand my own capacity to handle more better
So I can serve those around me better
If you’re not up for the challenge of becoming your best…
… then now would be the time to unsubscribe
… but if you’re up for it
then you are in the right place.
In today’s episode, we go deeper into what you can expect to hear from Dad the Man 2.0 moving forward. Click here to check out the latest episode.

RICH FRONING is considered by many to be the greatest CrossFit athlete of all time. He won the CrossFit games, earning the title of "Fittest Man on Earth," in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. He also led his team, CrossFit Mayhem, to first place team finishes in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. So ya, he's been a 1st place finisher at the CrossFit games damn near every year since he started. Rich is known not only for his athletic achievements, but also for his faith. He has Galatians 6:14 tattooed on his side - "As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Rich is one of those guys with a gravitational pull. Even just talking to him or following him on social media will inspire you to be a better version of yourself. He's an incredible man, husband, and father, and it was an honor to host him on our show.

Adrian is the founder of the men's coaching program called Men of Bedrock. He's a husband, he's a dad, he's a teacher, and he's been a big supporter of me and this show over the last year or two. He's someone I've learned from both directly and just from following him and his content on instagram. He's a guy that I have a ton of respect for. Its easy to talk the talk but he walks the walk and sets a great example for the rest of us to follow. He's a man of faith and he doesn't shy away from it. I love that about him. I think so highly of Adrian and I'm honored to have him on the show.

Drew Holcomb is a fantastic musician and plays with a group called Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors. In fact, The Neighbors actually just released their ninth album, called Strangers No More (LINKED HERE). Drew is a Tennessee man - born in Memphis, went to school at Univ of Tennessee in Knoxville, and now lives in Nashville with his wife Ellie, who is also a well-known, talented musician, and his three kiddos, Emmylou, Huck, and Rivers. He also started a really incredible music festival in my home town of Chattanooga called Moon River. People come from all over for that one they get amazing acts to come play. It is really well done. Drew's humor is dry and direct, which made this conversation a lot of fun. He's honest and unafraid to tell it like it is. The back half of this conversation is especially great. We talk about living in community, why our job as parents is not to entertain our kids, and Drew gives his take on vulnerability as well as some other unsolicited advice. Above it all, Drew is an incredible man, husband, and father, and it was an honor to host him on the show
