My job as a dad is to give my boys every opportunity to be better than me.

Faster, stronger, smarter, balanced, driven….. better…. In every single way.

Hmmm

I think every son wants to be better than his Dad. The soon yearns for his father's respect & admiration.

My job as a father is to give him a good run for his money, to set the bar high. But also to stop him doing something massively dumb, that might have long term consequences. It's a fine line to walk & I'm sure I will make more mistakes.

Always keep in mind that you're not raising boys, you're raising men. You lead by walking your path while hoping like hell they're still following along & may one day catch up to you.

🧡💪

I think you’re directionally there. But we must also allow kids to be kids. Don’t be in a hurry for them to grow up.

They will be men, but first they must be boys and it’s my job to help shape them and for them to grow into it.
