“Being a Challenge dad means I have to lead by example to show them how to never give up or quit, even if it’s something you’re not good at. You only fail when you don’t try,” Darrell Taylor tells Us. He has two children, Amyah, 7, and Zaeden, 5.

“The best part about being a Challenge Dad is that I get to show my son that he can get through almost any physically, mentally or emotionally draining battle that might come his way,” Derrick Kosinski tells Us, raving over his 9-year-old son, Little Derrick. “The coolest part is that he gets to watch and learn from seeing his old man kick ass on MTV.”
