At 57, I decided the version of myself I'd been living as wasn't good enough anymore — physically, financially, and in ways I'd never told anyone. This channel is the documented rebuild.
This one's different — it's not about me, it's about a mistake I almost made with my 8-year-old daughter.
She wants to race motocross. And I caught myself doing exactly what a father I once knew did to his daughter's love of archery — piling on gear, pressure, and expectations until the joy was gone. This is a story about the difference between supporting your kid and slowly taking over the thing they love. Why "helping" too much can quietly kill a child's passion. And what I'm doing instead.
If you're a parent, a coach, a grandparent, or someone who grew up with a father who couldn't just let you enjoy something — this one's for you.
