- [Fitness at 50 - Continuing the Journey](https://300fathers.com/fitness-at-50/): As you get older, every year, you say you will make better progress with your fitness. When I turned 50 years old, that promise to myself seemed harder, results seemed to come much slower. My work situation has changed, my body has changed, the kids have busier schedules and through it all, I can’t use any of that as an excuse. My will has to increase and I know that I am at a point that I must be more intentional about my fitness, especially when it comes down to my diet. To be honest, that is the area that […]
- [How to Get in Shape As An Older Father](https://300fathers.com/how-to-get-in-shape-as-an-older-father/): Most men have an inward desire to be in shape. Being in shape and presenting a good physique is a sign of discipline. It is something that the world will look at and understand that it came with hard work. But let’s be honest, life happens. As we get older and take on more responsibility (jobs, family, etc.), life can get in the way. It doesn’t mean that we are not disciplined but what it can be a sign of is that we are not focused. As I am writing this, I am about 6 weeks away from turning 50. […]
- [Old Trophies and Self Mastery](https://300fathers.com/self-mastery/): It may be easy to confuse a trophy with the idea that you have mastered something. Trophies are a reminder of past accomplishments. They remind us and those that see them of our dominance in a particular sport, field or area. But unless you are getting trophies on a regular basis, old trophies can make you complacent and resting on your past, preventing you from moving into your future. Self Mastery is something that you work on every day. We are often the toughest project that we will work on. Recently, I decided to clean out my office. I had […]
- [Clipper Race Round the World | DC Wharf](https://300fathers.com/clipper-race-round-the-world-dc-wharf/): I started hearing about the Clipper Race Round the World last September. Event when I heard about it, I found it hard to believe that people actually raced boats SAIL BOATS AROUND THE WORLD! A few months ago, I heard that the fleet would be making a stop at the Washington DC Wharf and I knew we had to go. I am all about new experiences with the family so we decided to take a trip down to the DC Wharf to see what it was all about. All 11 clipper yachts where there and several were open for public […]
- [Competitive Youth Gymnastics - Managing Expectations as a Father](https://300fathers.com/competitive-youth-gymnastics/):   As fathers, many of us want our children to be involved in youth sports. In saying that, I have never seen anything quite like competitive youth gymnastics.  Our Journey Our family started this competitive youth gymnastics journey with our daughter about 4 years ago. Like most, we started with excitement and joy as we watched our daughter do what she seemingly loved to do and in our eyes, she was good at it. Last season, she repeated level 4. This caught us be surprise because in the previous season, she won 1st place All Around in the State Championships. […]
- [How to Connect with Your Kids: Tired of Surface-Level Parenting? Learn How to Connect on a Deeper Level!](https://300fathers.com/how-to-connect-with-your-kids-on-a-deeper-level/): Hey there, fellow dads! As a 40+ year old father of a son and a daughter, I know firsthand how essential it is to learn how to connect with your kids. It’s incredible to witness them grow and evolve, and connecting with them on a deeper level can be one of the most rewarding experiences of fatherhood. So, let’s dive into some practical tips on how we can strengthen those bonds and create lasting memories together. Understanding Your Children’s Individuality You know, my son and daughter couldn’t be more different if they tried! My son is of course into video […]
- [Universal Island of Adventure](https://300fathers.com/universal-island-of-adventure/): I started to write an elaborate blog post comparing Disney Parks and Universal Parks but forget all of that LOL. If you want thrill rides, go to Universal. If you want the immersive experiences and are a fan of Disney (and have young children), the Disney theme parks are for you. Pricing for both works out to be about the same so it’s going to come down to how you want to craft your family’s experience.  My family recently traveled to Orlando, Florida and we visited Universal Island of Adventure. I have to say that VelociCoaster is the best roller […]
- [Podcast Interview - Derrick Calloway](https://300fathers.com/podcast-interview-derrick-calloway/): What a great interview! In this episode of the High Performance Fatherhood Podcast, I sat down with Derrick Calloway and we discussed all aspects of fatherhood, including what fears we face, how to deal with our children getting older and how to translate fatherhood into youth sports as a coach.

- [Top 5 Truths About Youth Gymnastics](https://300fathers.com/top-5-truths-about-youth-gymnastics/): I am writing this article to hopefully provide some insight into youth gymnastics for any father (and/or mother) that has a child interested in the sport. Maybe your child hasn’t expressed an interest YET, but you are looking to get them into a sport or activity. I hope this article helps you when it comes to making your decision. So how did we get here? My wife and I have a son and a daughter. At the writing of this article, my son is 13 and my daughter is 11. What peaked our interest in youth gymnastics was 100% the […]
- [Podcast Interview - Shawn Hicks 1st and 10 Barber Shop](https://300fathers.com/podcast-interview-shawn-hicks-1st-and-10-barber-shop/): [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In this episode, I sit down with Shawn Hicks, Master Barber and Owner of 1st and 10 Barbershop in Clinton Maryland. We talk about his journey as a barber and even more important, his journey as a husband and a father. I was really grateful that Shawn was transparent! I think his insight into not only being a high performing father in business but also his journey with his family will greatly help any father who watches this interview.

- [Podcast Interview - Kenneth Hodder of the Salvation Army](https://300fathers.com/podcast-interview-kenneth-hodder-of-the-salvation-army/): [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In 2022, I had the opportunity to meet Commissioner Kenneth Hodder who is the National Commander for the Salvation Army. I was at their headquarters to shoot new headshots and during my time there, we began to discuss 300 Fathers. Fast forward to 2023 and I had the opportunity to return to the national headquarters of the Salvation Army to interview Commissioner Hodder for the High Performance Fatherhood podcast.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
- [Family Vacation - Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas](https://300fathers.com/harmony-of-the-seas/): We decided to take a cruise from July 3 – July 10 on the Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas. This was our second cruise as a family with our first cruise being on the Disney Fantasy in 2014. Knowing that we set the bar high for our first cruise, we were really picky about which cruise line we would go with for our next. I have to say, Royal Caribbean did not disappoint. I am often asked to compare Disney to Royal Caribbean and there are some pretty big differences however, they are both great cruise lines. I believe […]

- [Sample Page](https://300fathers.com/sample-page/): This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.) …or something like this: The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, […]
