Embracing Perfectionism and Grit in Parenting

Navigating the challenges of fatherhood means embracing the unique traits each of my sons bring to the table. Maven mirrors my younger self with his perfectionism and fiery passion, teaching me the importance of nurturing that relentless drive while guiding him to manage setbacks gracefully. Max, on the other hand, mirrors the calm realism of my wife—resilient but more accepting of life's lows.

Both approaches have their merits, but it's that grit and refusal to settle for mediocrity that I find essential, whether in sports or life’s larger battles. This journey isn’t just about guiding them; it’s about learning, adapting, and growing together. #Fatherhood #LifeLessons #RaisingLeaders
