Ep 78: I Fired My Kids' Coaches (And Why It Was the Right Call)
This one’s gonna sting a bit, but it’s one every father needs to hear.
In this episode, Dane drops a truth bomb about real leadership at home. He shares why he fired his kids’ judo and jiu-jitsu coaches, not because they were bad, but because his boys weren’t executing. They were showing up, but not doing the work. And that’s the trap too many dads fall into: thinking that signing up equals showing up.
Dane breaks down the uncomfortable truth that coaching doesn’t create greatness, execution does. You can buy every lesson, program, and piece of gear, but if the effort’s missing, it’s just expensive babysitting. He challenges fathers to stop outsourcing accountability and start embodying the standards they preach.
Five years ago, Dane admits he couldn’t have made that call, because he wasn’t living it himself. But once he raised his own standards, in his body, discipline, and mindset, he could finally lead from the front.
This episode isn’t about sports. It’s about legacy. About showing your kids that excellence is earned, not bought. That “showing up” isn’t enough without execution. And that the standard you live is the standard they learn.
You’ll walk away convicted, inspired, and maybe a little uncomfortable, because that’s what growth feels like.
Fatherhood isn’t about keeping your kids comfortable. It’s about preparing them for life.
Hold the line. Model the standard. Lead from the front.
Burn the excuses. Build the man. Be the standard.
