Tomorrow, Season 4 of Ted Lasso begins, and I couldn’t be more excited.
To celebrate, I made this one-of-a-kind Ted Lasso inspired knife.
If you know me, you know this isn’t just another TV show to me. I’ve watched the first three seasons at least five times, and every time I head to a knife show with my buddy Adam, he packs his Chromecast so we can wind down each night with a few episodes. It’s become part of the tradition.
On the surface, it’s a show about soccer. But it’s really a show about becoming a better human.
These are the seven lessons that have stuck with me the most:
💙 1. Be curious, not judgmental.
The darts scene is one of the greatest moments in television. It reminds us that most people are far more interesting than our first impression allows.
🐟 2. Be a goldfish.
We all make mistakes. Learn from them, then let them go and move forward.
🤝 3. Forgiveness sets you free.
Holding onto resentment only weighs you down. Grace is as much a gift to yourself as it is to someone else.
⚡ 4. Don’t settle for “fine.”
As Roy Kent said, you deserve someone who makes you feel like you’ve been struck by lightning.
🐶 5. We all need our own Diamond Dogs.
Real strength isn’t pretending you’ve got it all together. It’s having people you trust enough to be honest with. Someone once said, “Big boys don’t cry, but real men do.” I think Ted would agree.
🛋️ 6. Therapy isn’t weakness.
One of the show’s greatest messages is that asking for help isn’t failure—it’s courage. None of us have to carry everything alone.
💛 7. Believe.
Believe in yourself. Believe in others. Believe that hope is worth holding onto, even when life gets hard.
I’m looking forward to seeing where Season 4 takes us.
Until then…
Believe. 💙💛
