Biography

I have written for Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, GQ, Details, The New York Times, AskMen.com, ComedyCentral.com and many more. I currently write for Yahoo! Sports’ ThePostGame.com, where I contribute profiles on athletes as well as high-profile participatory journalism features. To that end, I've spent a game night as the Miami Heat's mascot, Burnice, trained for the 40 at the NFL Combine (didn't get drafted), ridden in a Monster Truck (didn't get killed) and even spent a night as a Duke fan on the road during a pivotal ACC game (again, didn't get killed). I've studied the science of how Nate Robinson can jump so high, dissected why Ray Allen can shoot so well, and I created a science for ranking our most athletic Presidents, among many other features. I am also the author of the book: The Dadvantage - Stay in Shape on No Sleep, with No Time and No Equipment. It has been a Top 10 Fatherhood book on Amazon, was featured on Extra! TV and has been endorsed by both Muscle & Fitness magazine and Men's Fitness magazine. I also wrote the fairly popular book, The Three Dollar Scholar, which was an expansion of my columns in both GQ magazine and Muscle & Fitness. It was featured across a wide variety of national publications, as well as on several appearances on SiriusXM satellite radio. I have appeared on a number of national radio shows and podcasts promoting my writing, and I hosted a sports/fitness podcast for AskMen.com called Man v. Myth.

  • Ted Williams, 98 Years of Tradition & Why RIGHT NOW is the Time to Make Generational Memories

    By Jon Finkel| midlifemale.com@ My grandfather spent all eighty four years of his life as a die hard Red Sox fan and at one point, every player on the team was a bum. Every manager was no good. If the Sox were down by a few runs, regardless of inning, it was over. Down three-to-one in the bottom of the 2nd? Game’s done. Down four-to-two in the fifth? Forget it. Of course, he spent the bulk of his life in the midst of the 86-year “Curse of the Bambino”, where the Sox always choked and never won a title.

  • The Art of the Comeback - Rediscovering My Prime at 46

    By Jon Finkel| midlifemale.com@ Forget Al Bundy. Forget his 4 touchdowns in one game at Polk High School (although, still impressive). And forget reliving your “glory days” from varsity football or hoops or that championship travel AAU baseball team you were on. If you’re reading Midlife Male, then that stuff likely occurred twenty or thirty (or even forty) years ago. Were those good times? Yes. Is it fun to reminisce with your old buddies? Hell yes. But what are you competing in now to continue that feeling?
