During a conversation about Kevin's recent trip to the Olympics, several themes emerged related to being a dad. The first theme is about being prepared, courageous, bold, and confident, as demonstrated by the high jump event where the athletes had to make a choice between sharing a gold medal or doing a jump-off. The second theme is about the importance of execution and not missing moments, as seen in the relay race where a fumbled handoff cost the team a medal. The third theme is about the role of encouragement, both for spouses and children, as well as in the broader community of dads.
