I’m a man who loves sports. And dads who love sports tend to want their kids to love sports, too. What better way to share that passion than coaching youth sports like soccer?

Dad’s House Jr., a middle school student, is going to his first dance! Is he nervous? Nah. He learned the art of approaching women from watching his old man in action. Plus, he has plenty of Axe body spray.
