I wanted to be a pilot almost 20 years ago and I faced a decision that would change the trajectory of that dream. 

There's a magic in the Christmas season but, for our family, it will always come with a sense of sadness in remembrance as well.

"It's ok to do what you were meant to do until it's time to start doing what you were meant to do."

Leaving a legacy is harder than we can imagine, but worth it once we find that passion.

I had a dream to be in a certain industry, it was a job that I had wanted for a long time. But that dream died after two moments changed my attitude and mindset towards it.

There's a finality to the last 10 months and I experienced something that made me think about what being a better sports parent is all about.

It's our destiny, not theirs. 

On this episode of the Todd Kaufmann Show, I talk about the Be Kind, Be Focused, Be GREAT shirts we have available ($35 ea. send the color and size you want and your email address and we'll confirm your order).

On this episode of the Todd Kaufmann Show, I talk about desire and passion and why one can't play without the other as well as writing down the "why" to remind you why you're doing what you're doing.

I also talk about what it means to not work our lives away and why it took a very hard lesson for me to learn that.

On this episode of the Todd Kaufmann Show, I talk about my daughter playing basketball and how her first game took me to a parenting crossroads that I wasn't prepared for.

Also, do we as parents need to do a better job at being sports parents and, perhaps, being knowing how to handle ourselves?

I come to you from Proverbs 22:6, a scripture that had always been told to me in reference to discipline. But I don't know that we're looking at it in the complete context.
