    S1:E2: Building Young Men, Not Just Athletes
    Nov 24 2025
    🎙️ Episode 2 — Building Young Men, Not Just Athletes

    Description:
    In this episode of Lead From The Line, Coach [Your Name] talks about one of the most important responsibilities we have as dads and coaches: raising young men who are strong in character, not just skilled in sports. Because someday, the games will end — but who they become will last forever.

    We break down how football teaches responsibility, discipline, humility, work ethic, and resilience in ways everyday life often can’t. You’ll learn how to use wins, losses, pressure, and even mistakes as powerful opportunities to shape your son’s mindset and identity.

    This episode is a blueprint for growing boys into leaders — not just athletes — through intentional coaching and consistent parenting.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Sports build character when adults focus on development, not performance
    • Kids remember how you spoke to them long after they forget the score
    • Accountability + encouragement creates long-term growth
    • You’re preparing them for life, not just the next game

    If you want to raise a man of integrity, confidence, and resilience, this episode is your playbook.

  • S1:E1: The Why Behind the Whistle

    S1:E1: The Why Behind the Whistle
    Nov 17 2025

    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.
