Moneyball, Barbells and Daring to Be Different

Moneyball, Barbells and Daring to Be DifferentBy: WOD Father Published on: 15/06/2025

Well, so what? My wife asks me. Well, like Mark Twain said, it’s not what you don’t know that is going to hurt you, it’s the thing you think you know for sure that just isn’t so. Just like a diet low in fat was supposed to be heart healthy or mortgage-backed securities were a sure thing that could never fail. Those kinds of errors can be fatal. And they are expert-supported ideas that coincide with the narratives we’ve created to support system 1 thinking. They are the result of mirages our minds perceive in the random patterns of the world. And they can kill us.

Why is My Coach So Mean to Me?

Why is My Coach So Mean to Me?By: WOD Father Published on: 06/06/2025

Every now and then, one takes the lesson out into the world and runs with it creating something beautiful. Every now and then an athlete uses the discipline learned in the gym to transform herself into someone truly Empowered. And when she does, her coach looks on with tears of pride and knew it was all worth it. Every long coaching day, every disappointment, every unappreciated effort. Because in that moment, the coach can sit back with a sense of fulfillment and say to himself, “I made a difference. For that one, I made a difference.”
