@chrisboettcher9 I’d much rather be there for school performances, wrestle with them, and make them smile than hit any of those goals. Great tweet.

@justinslimm Right on Justin! Build that generational impact and it starts with our health and our presence.

@chrisboettcher9 That is it!!! Couldn't agree more

@tobi_emonts I know where your head is at on this one brother 🤝

@chrisboettcher9 @theantonioreza Being a father priorities have to be sorted. It's all good making PRs in the gym. My priority now is to take my health and wealth-building seriously for the long game.

@AndreasPetker @theantonioreza Totally agree Andreas. Your #1 goal should be longevity and energy for the sake of your family. Too many fathers go the extreme at the expense of their families.

@chrisboettcher9 @tobi_emonts Spot on Chris! I'd add one more: -Inspire their kids to be their unique selves.

@lathamht @tobi_emonts Love that addition!

@chrisboettcher9 Working on it with your help brother!!

@BrianCatanella You’re crushing it Brian 💪

@chrisboettcher9 You forgot the tattoos, video games n online bets...👍😅

@NewellChook52 Unfortunate truth

@chrisboettcher9 As much as I agree with you. Currently it seems like dads need to take up your "don't" list.

@m_melinskas Nothing wrong with the first list but most need to just get started. Many are in a cycle of self neglect and those other feats are incomprehensible. They just need to start stacking much smaller wins first.

@chrisboettcher9 You are missing the most important things. Dads must be willing to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of their families, above all else. Dads must be protectors.

@harpur_sean Don’t be confused by self neglect as being for the betterment of the family.

@chrisboettcher9 I think I’m a world we’re men are becoming weak , we need to bring forth the need to do hard shit. Being present is hard but deadlifting 600 pounds is hard as well. A combination of both lists is 🔑. Weak men create hard times, hard times create strong men.

@TelfordTy I completely agree. But so many don’t know where to start. Those big goals are incomprehensible if you don’t take your health seriously in the first place. Have to lay foundation with your health, lead your family, and then nothing wrong with setting big personal goals. But it…

@chrisboettcher9 You make a good point, but it's also possible to take care of your health AND be a good father! Shocking, right? 100 mile marathons are a bit extreme if you ask me, but I'd bet it's amazing motivation for one's children to witness.

@DrewRandell 100% man. My point is many dads don’t take their health seriously in the first place. Minimal lifestyle changes would quickly snowball into life change, more presence, and a better example for their kids. At that point, keep leveling up and go do something incredible. But first…
