    I can also tell you that almost every parent I know, and I know many because almost everyone my age have kids, are super active and do all kinds of fun things with their kids all the time.

    It’s always funny to watch a guy who has been a sports buff on the sidelines for half his life pick up coaching Little League baseball or soccer and come away with a totally different appreciation for the sport. Suddenly, he’s heavily invested in rookie year players, way more interested in the training camps than any of us have ever been, and saying the word “fundamentals” until our eyes have rolled out of our heads.

    It’s incredibly cute and funny. Even as he says “Listen, my son’s not going to make it to the pros” he’s got to doubles back about how Tom Brady was a bottom of the barrel draft pick. Guy just loves his kid and loves what he does.
