Recent events have encouraged Don and Derek – in Episode 066 – to discuss their involvement with family and the decisions around how they spend their time. The highly publicized helicopter accident tragedy that occurred in California with Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven other crew and passengers quickly became a time of reflection for many parents. Creating an appropriate work balance is ultimate key to fulfillment. Both Don and Derek enjoy the work that they do, coaching, educating and helping people to achieve their goals. At the same time, they both recognize that quality time with family must be set aside or integrated in a way that enables that balance to be achieved.

While all of Don and Derek’s kids are involved in sport, the goal of all of their interactions is to have fun. Sport is an opportunity for bringing family together while avoiding the negative outcomes where parents can sometimes take things far too seriously, impacting the enjoyment of the kids. Once you spend time in an unwise manner, it is impossible to get that time back. One of the big takeaways of this discussion is to value every moment and don’t be afraid to be selfish and spontaneous when it comes to family time together.
