Dad the Man

Brendan Wall
Dad the Man

Do you have the skills you need to love and lead your family from the front? My name is Brendan Wall. I am a father of four and married to my best friend. I started this podcast not because I have all the answers, but because I am in search of them. We have one opportunity to be the best men, husbands, and fathers that we can be, and I plan to seize it. At DAD THE MAN we interview guys we all know and admire professionally, but more importantly, are setting the tone for what a great man, husband, and father looks like. Guys who seize the opportunity before them to love and lead their families from the front, from a place of opportunity not obligation. This is Dad the Man. This is who we all aspire to become. Every single week, you can expect to hear from household names like JORDAN SPIETH, TIM KENNEDY, ERIC DECKER, SEAN LOWE, STIPE MIOCIC, DAVID MELTZER, DR MICHAEL GERVAIS, STAN EFFERDING, MARK BELL, DREW MANNING, DR JOSH AXE, DR JOHN DELONY, ROBB WOLF, JASON KHALIPA, TODD ABRAMS, LEW CARALLA, BERT SORIN, JOHN ELDREDGE, HEATH EVANS, DANIEL CARLSON, YOGI ROTH, PETER BURNS, CARLOS REYES, and many more represent what DAD THE MAN stands for. As men, husbands, and fathers, we experience and struggle with so many of the same things, and it's time we recognize that we are all in this together. If you are looking for more purpose, passion, connection, success, and camaraderie in your life, then you are in the right place. Welcome to DAD THE MAN

    138 | 3 Pillars of Youth Sports

    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 Progression Follow 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!!
