The 30-Day Reset

Thirty days to get the fire back

A day-by-day reset for the dad who drifted — your faith, your body, your family, and the dream you stopped talking about. Fifteen minutes a morning. Thirty days.

One payment. Thirty-one written lessons. Doors are open now — your Day 1 is the day you buy.

I know the chair you're sitting in

For six years I was sick. Throwing up most mornings — in Oman, in Qatar, in Kenya — insomnia, panic attacks, doctors who couldn't tell me why. In 2020 God healed me. I'd love to tell you I walked straight out of that into the best years of my life.

I didn't. I drifted. I let go of every discipline I had. I put on forty pounds. And one morning at thirty-four I looked in the mirror and the sentence that came out of me was, "I don't like the dad that I'm becoming."

Nobody else could see it. From the outside my life looked great. That's the part that scared me. I ran the tape forward fifty years and saw a comfortable, small man with a long list of what-ifs — and kids who learned by watching me that a dream is something you mention at a cookout and never do anything about.

At the end of 2022 I sat down in a coffee shop in Northern Virginia and prayed a dangerous prayer: God, do not let me move from this chair until You bring the fire back in my heart.

It came back. Then I asked Him what to do, and I heard one word.

Soccer.

I had never played. I told God it was the stupidest thing I had ever heard.

On January 1, 2023, I found a ball in my in-laws' basement and tried toe taps like a toddler as fat as a buffalo. I filmed it and posted it with zero followers, so I couldn't quit in the dark. A little under four years later I pulled a Team USA shirt over my head at a 6v6 World Cup in Essen, Germany, at thirty-eight years old.

I'm not telling you that to impress you. I'm no one special — an average dad from the cornfields of Indiana, and God did that, not me. Soccer was never the goal. Soccer was the vessel. The goal was the man I was being forged into while I did it, and the wife and five kids who got that man back.

You probably don't need soccer. You need the thirty days I've never been able to skip since: win the morning, keep a promise you made to yourself, pray again, and do the one thing with your kids you keep meaning to do.

That's the Reset.

I don't have a wall of before-and-afters to show you. This is new, and I'd rather tell you that than fake it. What I have is my own tape — public, daily, since day one — and a handful of men who did this beside me at a campfire before it was ever a product.

Four weeks. Four words.

Week 1

Die — Faith

The old man doesn't get renovated, he gets buried. You pray your own dangerous prayer, name the two lies, build the night-before routine, pick three habits, and sign a Full Yes.

Week 2

Discipline — Fitness

Your body is the most honest arena you have — it's where you prove you can keep a promise to yourself. Thirty minutes, three times this week, and a nutrition floor a working dad can actually hold.

Week 3

Defend — Family

Steward the garden before the field. Presence over provision, the conversation you've been avoiding, the apology you owe, and one recurring thing on the calendar with your wife and your kids.

Week 4

Deploy — Fire

Name the buried dream out loud. Say it to five people so you can't quit quietly. Take the first step and trust God for the next.

Day 30

The Standard

You score yourself against The Standard — unshakable, disciplined, covering, sent — and you will know exactly where you stand. Not where you wish you stood.

What's actually in it

My guarantee, and its one condition

Do all thirty days. Fill in the tracker. If you get to day 31 and you are not a different man than the one who started, email me the tracker at reset@worldcupdad.com and I'll refund every dollar — and you keep everything.

The condition isn't a trick, it's the whole point. I can't buy a man his way back with a refund. I can only stand behind the work if you do the work.

And I'm not going to promise you an outcome. God never promised me I'd make a roster. He promised He'd forge me. That's the same deal I'm offering you: the process, and my word that if you don't quit, you win. (Galatians 6:9)

Who this is for

  • You're a man somewhere between thirty and fifty, and the last few years got away from you.
  • You know the two lies by heart: I'm not enough and it's too late.
  • You'd rather be told the truth than be hyped.
  • Faith is either the loudest thing in your life or the quietest. Both are welcome here.
  • You have ten to thirty minutes in the morning and you're willing to write things down.

Who this is not for

  • Men who want a workout program. This is a life reset. Training is one week out of four.
  • Men in crisis. If you're thinking about ending your life, if an addiction is running you, if your marriage is coming apart this week — brother, this is not the thing you need first, and I'd be lying to take your thirty-seven dollars today. Get real help: a pastor, a counselor, a doctor. In the U.S. you can call or text 988 any time, day or night. Come back when there's ground under your feet. I'll be here.
  • Men looking for a guru. I'm not one. I'm a dad a few years further down a road I almost didn't start.

He gives enough light for the next step

You don't get a spotlight for the whole journey. You get enough light for the next step. That's what thirty days is — not a transformation, a direction.

Doors are open now. Your Day 1 is the day you buy. Thirty-seven dollars, one time. Fifteen minutes a morning after that.

It's not too late to become who you were made to be.

Questions

How much time does this take a day?

The lesson is two to five minutes. The sheet takes another five to ten. Most days you're done in fifteen. Week 2 adds three thirty-minute training sessions.

What equipment do I need?

A floor and your body weight. A pair of dumbbells or a kettlebell if you already own them — every session has a version without them. No gym, no membership.

I'm not a soccer player. Is this soccer?

No. Not one drill. Soccer was the vessel for my story; it isn't the content of this.

What about the faith part?

It's the engine, not the decoration. Week 1 is prayer and honest business with God, and He shows up in the other three weeks too. You don't have to believe what I believe to start — and I won't hide what I believe either. Nobody gets pressured and nobody gets shamed.

When does it start?

The day you buy. Doors are open now, and your Day 1 is the day you buy — the lessons open at checkout, and one new lesson unlocks each day after that.

What if I miss a day?

Never miss twice. One miss is an event; two is the start of a story about who you are. The tracker scores you against last week, not against perfect.

How do refunds work?

Do the thirty days, send me the tracker, and I'll refund you in full and you keep everything. That's the whole policy.

Can I talk to you directly?

The morning email is a broadcast to everyone — it's not me writing to you personally, and I won't pretend otherwise. The place to actually talk is the community, with real men in it. If you want time with me, that's what comes after the thirty days, and I'll tell you about it on day 30.
