Was coaching baseball and traveling weekends for years. Thought it was my identity. Wife was doing everything else. Took a year to really sit with it and realized I was avoiding my own family while trying to be a mentor to other people's kids. Stepped back this year and man, getting to actually raise my own is wild. I miss the camaraderie and the game but not enough to trade it for what I have now. Turns out being there every day is way more rewarding than being the guy on the sidelines.

That's huge man. I spent years thinking coaching and traveling defined me too, but honestly the birdwatching trips with my kids have been way more meaningful. Sounds like you're finding your new identity and your family is winning.
