Dads, give me 2 minutes and it will change the relationship with your children forever, just read below. Here’s some numbers I heard recently to drive the point home. By age 12, you will have spent 75% of the time you will get with your kids in your lifetime. By age 18, you will have spent 95% of the time you will get with your kids in your lifetime. Time is fleeting. Time is gone in an instant if we’re not intentional. The micro moments will be gone before we know it as dads. This picture was the last time I ever coached one of my sons in football at our home field. My son Carter and I sat on the bench looking at the empty field, crying… We were filled with deep emotion because for years, we gave everything we had to each other and made memories that will last a lifetime. And it was gone. Dads, this is your future. We can’t stop it but… We can change the journey. We can change the journey through action. We can write the history and memories we want by stepping into the greatest version of ourselves. It takes only one dad to change a family tree forever. This is your reminder to lean into your kids and wife this week. This is your reminder to close down the work laptop later today and not check your email when spending time with the family. This is your reminder to stop the social scroll and take in those micro moments. This is your reminder not to numb up your pain with alcohol or any other vice and instead set the example you want your kids to live by. That’s The Warrior Dad way. That’s how we make a dent in the universe together. Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy. Create a legendary day! 🔥 #dads #dad #dadsmatter #dadlife #parenting #parentingtips #parenthood #family #familyfirst #fatherhood

Dads, when you have The Warrior Dad system a new level unlocks. Many times you may think it’s your lack of ability. It’s not. Many times you may procrastinate or feel lazy. That’s not the issue. The issue is you don’t know what to do. The issue is you don’t have a step by step battle tested roadmap. The issue is you’re trying to do it all alone. Picture yourself wanting to go from LA to New York. When you go it alone, you’re on a unicycle without a map. Will you get there? Possibly. But it’s going to take a heck of a lot of time, effort and you may not get there after all. Instead, you could take an alternative route. That route? It’s arriving at the tarmac and jumping on the private jet I’ve got waiting for you to take us there. That private yet? It’s The Warrior Dad Experience. It’s how dads are seeing dramatic increases in their energy and focus. It’s how dads are creating deeper bonds with their kids pouring love into them daily. It takes only ONE DAD to change his family tree forever. That dad leads from the front. That dad is the tip of the spear for his family. That dad lives his life intentionally with his legacy in mind and focus. That dad can BE YOU! Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy. Create a Legendary day! P.S. Your kids are waiting for you to lead. #dads #dad #dadsmatter #dadlife #parenting #parentingtips #parenthood #family #familyfirst #fatherhood

Dads, you have more potential inside of you. That potential is the itch on the back of your neck that you feel daily. It’s that itch that no matter what vice you use to numb it, the itch endures. It’s that feeling that you know you can be more for yourself. It’s that feeling that you know deep down inside you calling to lead your kids. The pursuit of your best is where happiness lies. The pursuit is how you lead from the front for your family. The pursuit is how your kids learn to do the same in their lives. You can run from the voice but it will always be there. It was there for me for 25 years until I answered the call. I answered the call to go on the hero’s journey. I answered the call to be uncommon in an all too-common world. I answered the call to be the tip of the spear for my boys. I answered the call to lead by example, not just talk about it. Answering that call has been the greatest gift I’ve given my children. I’m giving them all the tools, strategies and tactics I did not have. I’m sharing the vices and demons I battled in my life. That’s The Warrior Dad way. That’s The Warrior Dad mentality. That’s how The Warrior Dad movement is going to change the world. It takes only ONE DAD to change his family tree forever. You can be that DAD. Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy. Create a legendary day! P.S. If you’re ready to answer the call, send me a DM and let’s talk. Your kids are waiting. #dads #dad #dadsmatter #dadlife #parenting #parentingtips #parenthood #family #familyfirst #fatherhood

As a dad, one of my daily priorities is creating micro moments with my family. I intentionally keep this top of mind each day. We get limited time with our kids under our roof. By age 12, 75% of our time with our kids is gone. By age 18, 95% of the time we get with our kids will be gone. It could be a small thing like an extra long hug and love you. It could be a great laugh we have over something that’s just plain stupid. It could be talking about a memory from the past. Or it could be a big thing like taking the family to their first game at Madison Square Garden (A Sixers win by the way). The amazing thing about the trip up to NYC yesterday is there are multiple micro moments hidden in the larger moment. I can count a dozen from the trip off the top of my head. Those experiences are what our kids will remember. That’s what we will remember as dads. That’s where our power lies. Those micro moments will fill you up and energize you to be better for your kids. That’s The Warrior Dad way. Day in and day out, we intentionally pour into our families. It takes only ONE DAD to change a family tree forever. Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy. Create a legendary day! P.S.

Here’s the number one reason I feel why dads get stuck in a rut. They don’t have a system. We live with a vast amount of information at our fingertips but… Many dads just don’t know where to start. They don’t know what that first action should be. What ends up happening? They do nothing. The problem with doing nothing is you’re actually getting worse. There is no staying the same in life. You’re either stepping forward into growth. Or losing ground back into safety and comfort. Worse yet, as a dad, your kids are watching your lack of action. They will repeat what you’re doing. They will pause, hesitate and procrastinate. The key is to take action and figure out the system. Or go to someone with a battle tested system to get you the success that you crave. It’s not the ability you lack. That nagging feeling in your mind that you just don’t have it. It’s that you just don’t have the system. That’s the master key to your next level. That’s the master key to leading your family from the front. That’s the master key to changing your family tree forever. Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy. Create a legendary day! P.S.

Dads, do you know what this number represents? It’s eye opening when you know what it is. Any guesses? Has something to do with your success. Here it is. 91% of people do not complete their New Year's resolutions. That number is mind boggling to me. That means 9 out of 10 dads you see walking down the street miss their targets. That means 9 out of 10 dads you see at the grocery store are stuck. That means 9 out of 10 dads you see at your son or daughters event or game are in a rut. Do you think that 91% of dads are lazy? I don’t think so. Do you know what I think it is? It’s the system. Dads have the ability, they just don’t have the proper system to achieve it. Maybe you’ve already given up on your goal for the year. It’s not a reflection on you. It’s the system you’re missing. Maybe this has been a pattern all your life. Know this, if you don’t course correct, your kids will repeat what you’re showing them. It’s time to unlock that next level. It’s time to get the battle tested system of The Warrior Dad. Your kids' future is at stake. It’s your duty to break that family chain and give them the system you never got. That’s how you change your family tree forever. That’s how ONE DAD can create an epic legacy. You can be that one dad. Class VIII is now enrolling in The Warrior Dad Experience. The time to act is now! Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy.

One day very soon, you won’t be able to carry your kids on your shoulders. One day very soon, will be the last game you coach them in sports. One day very soon, they will be moving on from middle school to high school. One day very soon, they will be wearing a cap and gown ready to leave the nest. Dads, that’s our future. We can’t stop it. We can’t hold it back as much as we’d like to. The key is what we do with it now. How we show up intentionally for our kids today. How we give them everything we have. How we share strategies, tools and tactics that we didn’t have growing up. That’s the legacy that will live on past us. That’s the movement that is The Warrior Dad Experience. Dads that answer the call change their lives and their kids' lives forever. It’s not for the common man. It’s for that dad who feels that itch inside and wants to crush life personally and professionally. Knows that time is fleeting with his kids and wants to ensure he does all he can for them. You can be that ONE DAD who changes his family tree forever. Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy. Create a legendary day! P.S. If you’re ready to answer the call, that voice you hear in your head, the one that never goes away, send me a DM with the word WARRIOR. #dads #dad #dadsmatter #dadlife #parenting #parentingtips #parenthood #family #familyfirst #fatherhood

Here’s the top five stories we tell ourselves as dads. I’ve been guilty of using these in the past. Number One - “I don’t have enough time.” - I used to say this until my wife asked me to check my phone, I checked and the truth smacked me in the face. Number Two - “I am not enough” - This was a limiting belief I had for 40+ years of my life until I went deep into why I felt that way. We are all the only ones that will ever be, you’re uniquely amazing. Number Three - “I’ll get to it later.” - Action is a powerful force. There will never be a perfect time in your life, there will always be things in your way or popping up. Create your own future, chart your own path. This life is yours and yours only. Number Four - “My wife doesn’t desire me anymore.” - Take a look at yourself first. Be intentional, be supportive, be the best you and lean in. When you do that the game changes. Number Five - “I’m the only one that thinks this way.” - I used to think I was the only one battling the negative voices in my mind. The reality is we all do. Having brothers to fight each day side by side is so important. When we rewrite the stories we tell ourselves, our lives will change. That’s how ONE DAD changes his family tree forever. He shares his journey with his legacy. He’s the tip of the spear for his family. Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy.

Dad, are you pouring into your kids daily? Are you intentional with your actions and answer every bid for your attention? That’s your duty as a dad. Being a father is not a spectator sport. This is what your children need. They need you to carve out time for your kids no matter how small or big they are. They want to spend time with you. They want your attention. But…You might have to make the first move. Yesterday was an example of that for me as the leader of my family. I wanted to go on a hike together. I brought it up and the family followed. You’ll hear many people telling you to wait until their teenagers. I say BS. When you pour into your kids they will want to spend time with you. My boys are 15 and 13 but yet we still go on walk and hikes. We still play board games together. We spent a ton of time together this break and it was awesome. Moments I will always remember. There is no greater gift in life than being a dad. Dad, here’s your reminder to pour into your kids daily. It matters more than you know to your kids.It takes only ONE DAD to change a family tree forever. You can be that ONE DAD for your family. Dare to be uncommon. Love, lead, legacy.
