About this listen

In the debut episode of Lead From The Line, we dive into the real reason fathers choose to coach — and why that decision matters more than any scoreboard ever will. Coach Mak opens up about the moment he realized kids aren’t just listening to what we say… they’re watching how we live.

From balancing fatherhood and coaching, to shaping confidence through everyday leadership, this episode lays the foundation for what this show is all about: raising strong kids through presence, purpose, and example.

If you’re a dad, a coach, or anyone guiding young athletes, this episode will challenge you, inspire you, and remind you what’s at stake every time you step onto the field — or into your home.

Key Takeaways:

  • Kids copy your calm, your tone, and your reactions
  • Leadership isn’t shouted — it’s modeled
  • Being a coach-dad is less about football and more about shaping the future

Listen in, step up, and start leading from the line.
