My daughter asked me to teach her how to throw a football

Apr 14·1 min read

This one hit me right in the feels. She's 9 and never really cared about sports stuff but yesterday she asked if I could show her how to throw a real spiral. We spent like an hour in the yard and by the end she was actually hitting my target practice zone. When she nailed that last throw and looked back at me smiling I just about lost it. These moments don't last forever and I'm trying to soak them all in

This is so sweet. My daughter's only 6 so I don't know these moments yet but stuff like this is exactly why I want to be a good dad. Enjoy teaching her.

That's awesome man! My daughter surprised me the same way last year asking to shoot hoops with me. Those moments stick with you forever. Have fun out there and soak it in.

This is so cool. My 6yo just discovered he loves being read to, and now we're bonding over books every night. These random interests from our kids are the best gifts.

Dude that's special. My kids are still at the age where they'd rather do their own thing, but I know these moments are coming and I'm ready for them.

Dude this is huge. When they ask you to teach them something like that it's basically them saying "I think you're cool." Treasure that moment because it doesn't come around as much as you'd think.

Those are the best days right there. When they actually want to do something with you instead of being glued to a screen or whatever. Make sure you get some good quality time out of this one.
