The Dad Code Podcast: DAD RANT- "Work and How We Spend Our Energy"

This was an episode I really had to think long and hard about whether I wanted to publish it or not... I have not ever had a medical issue in my life but have quickly learned that it is something that will rock you to your core... It made me think about some changes both to my job and people around Me's job that seem to be in "flux" at the moment. It made me think about how I spend my time and energy and whether or not it is fruitful for me to entertain being potentially taken advantage of at work... Life is Short dads... Let's make the most of it and teach our kids some healthy boundaries for our work/life balance... enjoy! ____________________________________

The Dad Code Podcast: Coach Dad- "Championship Atmosphere! How Did We Do?"

As a Coach it is very difficult to teach kids how to win... It is even more difficult to teach them how to operate in the confines of a more hostile championship atmosphere. In this episode I detail our experience as a team in our league championship game & Oh what a game it was! I also recap my overall assessment of the year and how proud I am of all "my boys". It should go without saying that if anyone had questions about whether their kids should play youth sports, games like this one made a great case for why they should. MY BOYS showed extremely high fortitude and character in the face of great adversity. Sports are meant to teach us how to handle adversity and failure-- These are the life skills and tools we need all kids to learn! They don't learn it by sitting inside all day playing video games... They learn it by being a part of a team and learning and growing together and overcoming adversity TOGETHER! This one was a good one folks! Enjoy! ***Sorry about the Audio*** Someone has been messing around with the Equipment in the studio and apparently turned the Mic WAAAAAy Down. _______________________________________________ TikTok: thedadcodepodcast Rumble: Thedadcodepodcast Facebook: The Dad Code Podcast Instagram: Thedadcodepodcast Twitter: @thedadcode YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCfKX3Kuu4kFZl2PR893vcDA RSS Feed: https://media.rss.com/thedadcodepodcast/feed.xml Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dad-code-podcast-real-dads-real-talk-no-bs/id1620586430 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VEGme51EzibLyA7eylSE2 Google Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWRpYS5yc3MuY29tL3RoZWRhZGNvZGVwb2RjYXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s

The Dad Code Podcast: Coach Dad Update-- We are Going to the Championship!

It has been a long hard road but we are finally here! We have earned the right to play in the championship game! These kids have made me proud all year regardless of their win/loss record. The improvement and buy in have been second to none this year and it is showing on the field. Obviously as always there are things we can work on to get better but for the most part I am VERY happy with how we played. Now on to the championship game... coaching kids to win in a championship environment is different at this age. These kids are old enough now to understand the situation and will manifest pressure of their own to put on themselves on top of the natural pressure there is in the game itself can't wait to play the game and see how we do! The game is this afternoon so we will be sure to keep you posted! #coachdad #baseballcoach #championshipgame --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TikTok: thedadcodepodcast Rumble: Thedadcodepodcast Facebook: The Dad Code Podcast Instagram: Thedadcodepodcast Twitter: @thedadcode YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCfKX3Kuu4kFZl2PR893vcDA RSS Feed: https://media.rss.com/thedadcodepodcast/feed.xml Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dad-code-podcast-real-dads-real-talk-no-bs/id1620586430 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VEGme51EzibLyA7eylSE2 Google Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWRpYS5yc3MuY29tL3RoZWRhZGNvZGVwb2RjYXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s

The Dad Code Podcast: DAD RANT-- "Uvalde Tragedy"

Explicit
This Dad Rant was one I really debated and contemplated not doing... I don't usually comment on these types of things, but felt like as a father I had to say something about how this situation was handled by police officials and also express my condolences to the families involved. The tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas again rocks us as Americans to our core... Are guns to Blame? No, I don't think so... Was it a mental health issue? Probably... I'm not here to debate gun laws or gun control, but we have to do something to protect our kids until we as "the adults" can figure out how best to move forward. Instead of political posturing, we need to be focusing on protecting our kids. We have no problem protecting celebrities, concerts, sporting events, etc. Now we need to turn our focus to protecting the most precious among us... our kids.

The Dad Code Podcast-- "The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence"

When we try we succeed...win or lose. Whether we give our all and win and gain the satisfaction of a job well done or we lose and gain knowledge about ourselves and where we need to improve for next time-- either way we WIN. Kids often don't have to mindset that they can get better from a loss. Ed Mylett calls it "blissful dissatisfaction"... I call it the relentless pursuit of perfection... I may have inadvertently stole that somewhere along the way but the fact still remains that in order to achieve in life we have to continue to pursue excellence in sports and in life. We have to have goals and we have to have fearless goals that continue to drive us forward. #coach #dadlife #goals Check us out on Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, and Facebook!

The Dad Code Podcast: Coach Dad- Learning How to Win

Often we just expect kids to go out on the field of play (or Life) and jsut figure out how to win. But for many kids its just not that simple. We have to get our hands dirty as coaches and get in there and teach them how to manage emotion within certain situations. we don't do this by simply calling out individual players and pointing out their mistakes in an effort to embarrass them into fixing the issue. We instead have to take the time to break down the situation and use it as teachable moments for EVERYONE. The bottom line is we can't fail our kids/players by not teaching them how to win- it is a basic life skill that is learned through experience, grit, and COACHING! #coach #youthsportscoach #coachdad __________________________________ __________________________________ Rumble: Thedadcodepodcast Facebook: The Dad Code Instagram: Thedadcodepodcast Twitter: @the_dad_code YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCfKX3Kuu4kFZl2PR893vcDA RSS Feed (audio version):
