20 Jun My Soccer Dad

My father invested in me throughout my life.

He’s always been slow to judge and given me space to learn & grow, while still demonstrating a strength that cares.  He taught me what it looked like to “Go Outside” from an early age.  Sure, he wasn’t perfect, but he modeled relentless faith and consistency.

There are numerous examples of his all-in approach, but the picture captures it best .  Soccer wasn’t a popular sport when I was growing up.  My Dad never had played, but he stepped up when we needed a coach.  It made a huge impact on me, but I wasn’t the only one – my friends today still talk about Dad being their coach back in the day.

So guess who always is ready to sign up when it’s time to coach?
