  • The Day My Daughter Was Born

    Some days in life feel bigger than the rest. The day Charlie was born was one of those days.

    People ask me how I’m feeling all the time, and most of the time they mean physically. How’s the chest healing, how’s the breathing, how’s the heart rhythm, how’s the fatigue.

Build strength for the people you love.

I’ve coached strength and conditioning for nearly 18 years. After open-heart surgery, I had to start over with some of the same things I’d spent years coaching. Getting back on the ice with the boys felt pretty damn good. I want to keep doing that for a long time, and one day I want to be out there with my grandkids, too.
