Father’s Day Gift Ideas for the “Sports Dad”

The relationship between a son and a dad can be difficult at times. Sports has brought my dad and I together. We found common ground watching high school basketball together after years of not speaking to each other.

I never know what to get my dad for Father's Day. About 10 years ago, I decided manual labor would be the best gift. Seeing that you instilled a strong work ethic in your child would make any parent proud. It fills the dads with pride to see his kids bust their asses. We came from a farm where hard work is appreciated and acknowledged.

So, I cleaned pig pens, helped cut wood and helped load pigs and pen them. It's HARD work. It tickles my dad to see his kids working hard for him. I discovered years ago, nothing helped my depression more than helping my parents. My sister taught me this.

My favorite gifts for dad are 1) Manual labor. 2) Anything MSU related. 3) Take him out for a nice meal. Dads are not hard to please. Have a happy Father's Day and make some memories.
