Advodadtnt I'm Jimmy Nelson β€” AdvoDad. My mission is simple: learn from great fathers, and help fathers... Taking care of that vehicle is our responsibility!

The greatest thing I've ever wanted to be is a good dad. πŸ™
I'm a father figure to 9+ kids πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦, and I've spent nearly 20 years coaching youth sports πŸ€. My goal is to help parents and kids live a healthier more active life. My vision is to ultimately help kids find and develop their talents. I believe that when we are doing what we are good at and reaching for our potential we can fully develop ourselves and live a happy and healthy life. One of the most important things in life is to take care of the bodies that we have been blessed with.

You keep telling yourself you'll start when life slows down β€” but what are your kids learning while you wait for that day?

Most of my days start on the road, 60+ miles ahead of me. There is no perfect hour coming. There are ten honest minutes β€” push-ups in the living room, a walk before dinner, something real where you stand.

F3 Β· Fitness: stop waiting for the season to change. Ten minutes counts. Start where you stand, and let your kids watch a father who starts.

Arise From the Dust: A Father's Road Back to Christ After Fading Into the Darkness β€” Hi Five Live

**F1 Β· Faith**

Last night, I had the honor of sharing my testimony on Hi Five Liveβ€”the mission, the choices that cost me my first marriage, the years I faded into darkness, and the road back to Christ.

If you’re a father figure who feels too far gone, hear this: you are not beyond His reach.

β€œArise from the dust, my sons, and be men.” β€” 2 Nephi 1:21

Thank you, Josh and Pamela Beagley Ackerman Bird , for the invitation and for creating a place where stories of coming back to Christ can be shared. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19u9PAby7N/

The full live is on the Hi Five Live page. The complete testimony will also be on the **Stronger Father Figures Podcast** this Thursday at 7 AM MT.

Some games are about the score. This one wasn't. πŸ’›

This was Talyn's last game of the season with the Maple Mountain 9th Grade team. A week and a half ago, these boys lost a teammate β€” a brother β€” to su***de. His funeral was earlier this week. And still, they suited up, lined up, and played this game for him.

I watched from the stands as a Father, proud of my son β€” and just as proud of every boy on that field. This is what a team is. When one of yours is hurting, nobody carries it alone.

Spanish Fork, we're holding your community close this week. To every kid who feels like they're carrying too much: reach out. Call or text 988 any time. You matter, and you are not alone.

F2 Β· Fatherhood β€” being there in the stands, and in the hard weeks, is the job.

Thirty kids. Two courts. One chant to open the day β€” so why does camp end in silence? 🎧

Swipe the story. ➑️ Because the last five minutes matter. Every day at the Winter Classic closes with the Cool-Down: balls away, eyes closed, breathing slow β€” one thought for each of the 5 F's, and the AdvoDads Klub Chant one more time, when it means more.

I recorded it, and it's now a bonus episode of the Stronger Father Figures Podcast β€” free for any father to steal. In the car after practice. At bedtime. After a hard day. Sit on the floor with your kids and finish quiet and strong.

The full story is on the blog: "The Last Five Minutes: Why Camp Ends Quiet" β€” advodadtnt.com.

Most kids will hibernate through winter break. What if yours came out of the den? 🐻

The bears are already setting up the gym. Cones out. Balls racked. Whistle on. Because the way a Father figure shows up for kids matters β€” and this camp is built on exactly that.

Four years ago, I walked away from the microphone. This weekend, I came back.

The Stronger Father Figures Podcast has returned. "The Return" is live now β€” no script, no polish. I recorded it on one of the hardest days of my life, the day I said goodbye to Tank, my dog of 14 years.

It's for every Father and father figure walking through loss, a hard season in marriage, divorce, raising teenagers β€” the dark stretches. You don't have to walk them alone.

He just needs someone in his corner. A Father figure who shows up, teaches him how to catch, and cheers louder when he finally does.

That's why we're doing this.

I'm excited to finally announce the first ever **AdvoKids Sports Kamp β€” Winter Classic** πŸ€βš½πŸˆπŸ

πŸ“… December 29–30, 2026
⏰ 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM each day
πŸ“ Grand Junction, Colorado

Two mornings of real coaching, real drills, and real character-building for kids who want to get better. I've coached youth sports for nearly 20 years, and I can tell you this: the kid who leaves camp believing in himself matters more than any stat sheet.

Here's the deal:
βœ… 30 spots total β€” when they're gone, they're gone (for now πŸ˜‰)
βœ… $100 flat per kid β€” your child picks their ball (basketball, soccer ball, football, or volleyball) and gets a camp t-shirt to keep
βœ… $1 holds your spot today (applies toward the $100)
βœ… Siblings save β€” $80 for each additional child from the same family (same ball + shirt)
βœ… Father figures: join us for 30 minutes each morning if you can β€” totally optional, totally welcome
βœ… After-game snack provided for every player 🍎

🎯 And your player gets a vote. After you hold your spot, your kid tells us which sports they're most fired up to learn β€” the two sports with the most votes are the ones we train. They call the plays.

And here's something I'm proud of: **4 families send 1 kid.** Add a $5 scholarship when you register (or $10, $25, or the full $100) β€” every $25 raised is one quarter, and 4 quarters sends a kid to camp free. No kid should miss out because of money.

Spots open to everyone β€” grab yours at the link in bio ⬆️

Let's finish the year strong. πŸ’ͺ
