You know me—I’m all about following the playbook.
Whether it’s sticking to a defensive strategy in baseball, using proven principles like progressive overload in the gym, or saying “I love you” daily (like the good marriage books suggest), I’m all in on letting experts guide the way.
But there’s one area where I’ve bent the rules: I let Ella watch TV.
Now, I’ve read the studies about screen time, but here’s the thing—her teachers are next-level amazing.
They’ve got sensory-focused days (Monday is for hearing, Tuesday for taste, and so on), along with detailed games and themes that make every day engaging and educational.
Because I trust them, I can just focus on being Dad—snuggling up and enjoying cartoons without guilt.
And honestly, fitness should feel like that too.
Leave the planning and program design to someone who knows the science inside and out, so you can focus on showing up and putting in the work.
No second-guessing. No overwhelm. Just results.
