Oct 20 • Weekly Challenges
You’re not a “former athlete.” You’re an athlete who forgot what the game feels like.
A lot of dads tell me, “Man, I used to be an athlete.”
Used to.
Like that part of them got buried somewhere between the carpool lane and the office chair.
But here’s the truth: that athlete didn’t disappear — he just got quiet.
He’s still in there. He just stopped getting reps.
Being an athlete was never about six-packs or PRs.
It was about how you showed up. You trained when you didn’t feel like it. You pushed when it hurt. You cared about improving — not because someone told you to, but because it was who you were.
Now life’s louder.
Bills, kids, stress, the never-ending to-do list…But that fire? It’s still sitting under the ash.
You don’t need to “go back.”
You need to remember.
You need to remind your body what it feels like to move with purpose again.
To compete — not with other guys — but with the version of you that quit chasing challenge.
Start there.
That’s the real comeback.
So, your challenge for this week is to each morning create a list of 3-5 things that you know you need to get done to make the day a success. And get those things done, NO MATTER WHAT!
What are your 3-5 things for today?

D.A.D. Strong isn’t for everyone. It’s for dads who are done starting over, want sustainable, and understand strength isn’t selfish, it’s service.
