Knuckle Up! You will most likely never forget the first time your kid punches someone in the face. The huge rush of emotion that they experience usually leads to a long spell of crying, and anger – this is normal. About two weeks ago, my youngest son, Mateo, got into his first fist fight. When he plays outside, we leave the kitchen window open so that we can hear what is going on. When I

Guidelines on Character, and tips to help teach Character What is Character? Character is the essence of a person, their inner truth, what they they actually are. A person's character is based on their mental and moral qualities - who they are behind closed doors. A person can be successful in many areas in their life but without sound character, much like a home which has a cracked

A good man by the name of Chris Moore recently taught me a good life lesson... Slow down, and enjoy your morning coffee. This is something that I have always done on my way to work, but recently I have been given a unique opportunity. For the past two weeks I have been attending a fitness course provided by the Army, which has left my mornings free up until 0800. So, one thing that I take

The other day, my son Caleb expressed to my wife his frustration with the kids at his school. When she asked what the issue was, he said, "No one at school likes the sports that I do!" My wife then asked what those sports were, he responded "Soccer, and Crossfit". Amused by this, my wife took the opportunity to ask Caleb to name his favorite athletes...this is what struck home with me. Caleb

“Good job, Son!” … Sounds good, right? Communicating with my two boys has been a hard lesson for me to learn. Thankfully, I have been put in situations where I have been taught to communicate in a way which will promote a desired end state. What does all of that mean? I learned that what I was giving my boys is known as Empty Praise. Essentially, the simple “good job” is not

Why not lead them toward a life of good health and fitness?If anything, one of the biggest motivators to getting in shape should be to increase your families quality of life. Here are some of the things that we did to help our kids, and ourselves stay healthy:After dinner walks:In Germany, one of our favorite things to do

So you all know, I have to give credit where it is due. The inspiration for these posts on focus came from a man I recently began looking up to named Mike Bledsoe. He is one of the creators of the podcast Barbell Shrugged, and his side project is Bledsopia - where he talks about everything you could possibly think of. Ok, where was I? Focus... Like I said on the last post, whatever it is

Focusing and maximizing time is a hard thing to do when we are as distracted as we are. We live in a time where many peoples attention span is limited to how fast they slide their finger across the screen of their telephone. This causes several problems. First, the people we should be paying attention to aren't getting enough of it. When I moved back to the United States after living in Germany,

Every journey in life, no matter how great the distance, will always begin with one step. Recently, I have found myself energized, and inspired by men who have courageously made the decision to dedicate their lives to the pursuit of helping others. I wonder, what am I waiting for? For the past two years I have spent countless hours making an impact on the lives of young recruits going
