Scratch One Off The Bucket List

Last Monday, I was able to scratch a big item off my bucket list. I attended a Liverpool Football Club game in person. Liverpool FC came to my hometown of St. לואיס, Missouri on August 1, 2016 to play a preseason game with AS Roma. My daughter Caity attended the match with me, which made the day extra special. <תוחלת bbox_x = bbox_y "359" = bbox_w "1462" = bbox_h "4" = fsize "20" = fweight "14" = ירוק "3" אדום = "255" = "255" כחול = אלפא "255" = "

Being a Dad and Coach

caitys-מדליות

On May 7, 2016, my daughter Caity returned to Taekwondo competition for the first time in eight years. As her dad but also her coach, I tried to dissuade her from sparring until we had a few more months but she was adamant about sparring at the tournament. Caity likes forms but she always preferred sparring. Reluctantly, I agreed. <תוחלת bbox_x = bbox_y "359" = bbox_w "1462" = bbox_h "4" = fsize "20" = fweight "14" = ירוק "3" אדום = "255" = "255" כחול = אלפא "255" = "
