He'll coach his three children Skylar, Tae-Ku and Braven in taekwondo on opening weekend in Santiago, Chile.
Tae-Ku, 22, and Braven, 20, make their Pan Am debuts Saturday. Tae-Ku competes in the men's 68-kilogram weight class and Braven in 58 kg. "I'm still so excited too, but I think to see someone else experience it for the first time makes it that much more fun and more memorable." "As I grew and matured, I realized her success only helps me push further and Braven push further and now our team works a lot better and that shows in our results and the way we train together.""She's warned us to take it in, take your time, make sure you know what you're doing, and when you step on the mat, just make sure you breathe and think about it, instead of rushing in there," Braven said.
"We do everything together, so we all experience the same things, or kind of know what the other person is going through," she explained."Being able to be there for each other in those moments was really important.
