FC Fathers and Dads

To all the fathers and dads at FC,

Becoming a dad is one of life’s major milestones. But let’s be real, parenthood also comes with its own special set of stresses, sleepless nights, and pressures.

Even though it may seem like the right thing to do, putting your own needs to one side for the next X number of years is almost guaranteed to harm your health.

In other words, if you want to take better care of your family, you must take better care of yourself.

Not sure where to begin?

Let me share with you what has worked for me …

Look after yourself – Mind, body, and soul (Systema training works on all three)

Sleep Well – Get sleep; 7 hours of ‘good’ sleep

Find a Crew – FightClub is a great one! But there are many

Give yourself permission – Its starts with you, be kind to yourself

Make it a habit – Do it for 30 days, and it will form

Be an example – For all those around you

“Whatever you do, don’t allow fatherhood to make you old before your time.”
