TPM #313 : Celebrating Father’s Day
A tribute to strong Dads', positive influences and great lessons from our fathers.
Happy Father’s Day!
There has never been a more important time to have strong father figures in our world.
In this edition of The Physical Movement (TPM), we celebrate strong, positive fathers in our lives with the stories we have shared over the past 5 years and 312 editions.
Dad passed in 2016. There is not a day that goes by without me thinking of him. His influence, compassion, dedication to family wellbeing, ongoing support and love. I was truly blessed and am grateful for having spent time with him.
He had a special skillset, as many Dads’ do. I remembered him in edition #209.

Part of starting TPM in early 2020 during the pandemic was creating an outlet for my love of writing, to document some of my experiences as a coach and teacher, and as it turns out, managing some grief. I really enjoyed the creative process in putting this together in honor of Dad. Hope you enjoy it.
Tony Proudfoot was a special man. In 2022, TPM remembered a strong father, husband, physical educator, hero, athlete, and role model.
It’s hard to believe the pandemic was 5 years ago. What a strange time. It did provide an opportunity for this Dad and his son to connect in a different way. I remember that part of 2020 fondly.

In 2021, TPM published some letters to Dad from young athletes celebrating their Dads’ contribution.
Larry Fitzgerald is a professional football Hall of Famer. Shea Weber is a professional hockey hall of famer. In 2020 we shared a couple of stories about leading by example. A great short read for all involved in youth sport.
