Why am I posting this pic? My sons undershirt means the world to me. It’s a retro Jr Seau T-shirt. Jr was a hero of almost all Samoans my generation. It’s funny, but in a country full of immigrants, we catch slack for loving our ancestors and our culture. Yes, we are Americans.
My wife and I are emergency foster parents. But this little guy has blessed our lives more than he even knows! He’s 14 months old (he’s been in our home since he was 2 weeks old and recognizes when my son

PSA: For parents whom kids are entering high school in the fall of 2024. Be mindful of what school your family chooses for your son/s. EVERYONE ain’t built for the Trinity League. That’s more than ok! Let’s take it back to sending your son to a school where they can go and have
I don’t come from an era of finger nail paint and or soft served freeze yogurt. I don’t plan on changing EVER! But, the balance is getting to know ALL MY PLAYERS. Getting them to buy in to where I come from and where my heart stems from. My culture as a Samoan American man shows

There’s levels to this game as we all know. I’ve been waiting for everything to come together. This team has come together and is running on all cylinders at the right time! Been waiting for us to play as a “TEAM!” Not worrying about “INDIVIDUAL” play! BUT WORRYING ABOUT WINNING
Like a typical Polynesian parent I was threatening my guys life and asking where “his” honor roll paper was???? 😡 😂 Well, proud to say I shouldn’t doubt my son! Congrats son! Love you!

to be there next year with aiga! My favorite fighter back in the day was Iron Mike for a reason.
It’s weird being an old head now, trying to tell kids not to sell their souls for clicks and likes. Interesting how our kids need attention from folks whom they don’t even know for approval. Which means we gotta do better in the home in letting them know just how much they mean!
Word of advice, offers don’t last forever. Keep building relationships with those coaches in your line of sight! Find what fits you & lock in! Stacking offers for clout ain’t so cool, if there’s none left on the table come signing day!

Showed up & showed out!!! & got to be a part of the “BESTs” round at the end. Good work today son! Now back to spring ball Monday! Lost only one rep today. Good competition, only reason we went to

Lots of folks always down talking pics and photoshoots etc. I love all the fun and memories they are making. Not only for themselves, but for their families to look back at. My guy only has only two seasons left. Gonna soak it all in for the next two seasons! Yes, this is a dad
Football programs always speak on culture. Parents you want to help your sons have that in their vocabulary, actions and demeanor? It starts from home! If they have high expectations at home, if they are held accountable for their actions at home, if they know how to accept
