A friend of mine recently went to a Memphis Redbirds baseball game. During the playing of the national anthem, he noticed that quite a few kids and dads kept their hats on throughout the song. A lot more people didn’t bother placing their hand over their heart. He said, “I think it’s pretty sad that...
I have a confession to make. I’m late or damn near late to just about everything. I can’t take it anymore. Something has to change. No…something is going change. I’m on a mission to stop being late. I’m a huge advocate of people making healthy changes in their lives. So that’s what I’m going to...
I want you to try something at your kid’s next game. I want you to shut up. Seriously. Don’t cheer. Don’t yell. Don’t shout. Just sit in conscious silence. Sit with your mouth shut but your eyes and ears open. You will be amazed by the experience. What Do You Hear? Are other sports parents shouting...
New, free pitch count apps have launched since I reviewed and recommended the best free pitch count app last baseball season. I’m glad I decided to do this again, because there’s a new champ in the clubhouse this year. If your son is a pitcher and you haven’t tried using a good pitch count app,...
“Dad, will you play catch with me?” That’s a special phrase that always has a profound impact on me. When one of my three boys asks me to play catch, I never take the question lightly. It always makes me feel great inside. Unless I can’t play with him. Then I get an incredibly guilty...
I want to give you the same feeling of awesomeness that I felt yesterday. It was like I drank a cocktail with equal parts excitement, surprise, delight and pride all mixed in. It’s the kind of awesome feeling that only a parent can experience. It happened when I saw this photo of my youngest son, Carter,...
I hate the Jackie Robinson story. I know it’s a significant part of American history and was a huge turning point in the Civil Rights Movement. I know that it’s a phenomenal story of perseverance. I know it’s a story full of life lessons that my boys can learn from. But deep down, I don’t...
As thrilling as it is when your kid’s team wins an exciting game on a buzzer-beating basket, a sudden death overtime goal or a walk-off hit, it’s just as heartbreaking when they’re on the losing end of those kind of games. Kids can teach parents and coaches a lot about how to get over a...
I had never been more excited to hear the word, “penis” in my life. It was during the ultrasound of our first child back in October 2003. When the nurse confirmed that my wife and I were having a boy, visions of our little guy playing baseball filled my imagination. Unfortunately, Before Kids Can Officially Play...
This was the first season that we had to do any kind of traveling with our sons’ sports teams. At first, the thought of young kids playing in out of town tournaments seemed very silly and downright unnecessary to me. What’s the point? It’s not like we live in a rural community that doesn’t have...

First off, I’d like to thank each and every subscriber of SportsDadHub.com. I wish I could give everyone a free poster, but it doesn’t work out that way. Well, I guess it could work out that way if I could afford it. But I can’t. :>) What I can do though, is offer you a...
