143 | LEE SMITH - Let Them Think You're Crazy
Let Them Think You're Crazy with NFL Veteran LEE SMITHSign up for the DAD THE MAN Newsletter for exclusive content and show updates!DISCUSSION POINTSRaising four kidsThe magic of having a daughterGrowing up with an alcoholic dadRaising kids in collegeGod planned this life for youTrusting God’s planLiving a life of crazy faithNo growth happens when you’re comfortableComing to faith in ChristGiving up alcoholGod will transform your heart to see the standard of a new normalTriple F in Knoxville TNYour job as a man is far more than providingBiblical masculinityGUEST NOTESToday’s guest is NFL vet Lee Smith. Lee has a pretty amazing story.. from the University of Tennessee to Marshall to a long NFL career, and what I love most about him and his story (the part of the conversation that God needed me to hear) is that Lee has always done things “his own way” - as the world might say, but in reality its the way that the Lord has led him. People have called him crazy, ut he isn’t worried about what people think. He’s worried about what God thinks. This idea is weaved through this entire conversation today, nd I’m so excited to share it with you. God spoke to me through this conversation and I pray that he’ll do the same for you today as you listen.

138 | 3 Pillars of Youth Sports
Only 3 things matter in youth sportsLove of the gameCharacter developmentSkill progression... in that order ..Sport is an undeniably great medium to inject life lessons into our kidsThe lessons I learned playing sports as a kid laid a foundation for the character I carry today as a 32 year old man. I am beyond grateful to have had parents who “got it” and optimized my experience for character development above all else.I’m striving to give the same to my kid - and I want to help you do the same.Unfortunately, 80% of kids who play sports quit by age 12..robbing them of the opportunity to continue playing a game they once lovedand to further build their character through it.My goal is for us to fix this issue moving forward.In youth sports, only 3 things matter (in this order!): Love of the GameCharacter DevelopmentSkill ProgressionFollow me on this….If we make sports fun..they maintain and grow their love of the gamethey want to playthey want to practicethey practice on their own in the back yardthey're engagedmeaning they actually care when coach talksbecause they care about the game and want to get betterso they listen to the character development stuffwe teach them about how to work hardhow to practice hardhow to be a great team matehow to respond to adversity and failurehow to compete and winwhich makes it more fun, by the way,and because they're having funand they want to come backand they understand how to work hardand how to practice hardand how to work as a teamand how to competeAad how to learn from mistakesthen the output of all of thatIs them getting better at the game!and then…THIS IS THE MAGIC PART RIGHT HEREas they get better at the gamethe game becomes more funbecause everything is more fun when you get better at itand because they’re having more funthey play longerproviding more opportunity to build characterwhich ultimately makes them better at the gameand the cycle continues….… it’s a beautifully vicious cycleand it’s my mini manifesto on sports.In today’s episode I go deep on this!!

About Dad the Man
Do you have the skills you need to love and lead your family from the front?My name is Brendan Wall. I am a father of four and married to my best friend.

We have one opportunity to be the best men, husbands, and fathers that we can be, and I plan to seize it.At DAD THE MAN we interview guys we all know and admire professionally, but more importantly, are setting the tone for what a great man, husband, and father looks like. Guys who seize the opportunity before them to love and lead their families from the front, from a place of opportunity not obligation. This is Dad the Man. This is who we all aspire to become. Every single week, you can expect to hear from household names like JORDAN SPIETH, TIM KENNEDY, ERIC DECKER, SEAN LOWE, STIPE MIOCIC, DAVID MELTZER, DR MICHAEL GERVAIS, STAN EFFERDING, MARK BELL, DREW MANNING, DR JOSH AXE, DR JOHN DELONY, ROBB WOLF, JASON KHALIPA, TODD ABRAMS, LEW
