March Madness is officially here! I am not sure who came up with that name, but no other month lives up to its name like March Madness. Excitement, emotion, and sheer madness fill this month for many sports fans and their families.
College basketball teams are preparing to make a run at the NCAA college basketball national championship. Fans are studying and preparing in hopes of creating the perfect bracket. Pundits are talking about this year’s bracket busters and Cinderella teams. Die hard fans are getting their gear ready to represent their alma mater and favorite team.
Getting ready for a great run
Just like everyone else, I am gearing up for March Madness. I am looking forward to enjoying it with my family. In celebration of March Madness I am introducing a series of posts for dads. The series is titled,
March Dadness: Preparing Dads to Make a Championship Run in Fatherhood. [Tweet this]
So, as you follow your March Madness brackets, and cheer your team on to victory, you can also follow my March Dadness series, and lead your family to victory.
