1) This is a column about balance in parenting. I’ve learned balance by saying no (to outside distractions), saying yes (to my kids when I can and when reasonable!), and trying not to be perfect. You¹re a busy working (and traveling) dad: how have you found balance between your home and work life?
Being a professional football player is definitely time consuming and there are weeks during the season when I’m not home for days at a time. Luckily, I have an amazing wife and family who are loving, supportive, understanding, and proud of what I do. I think finding balance between your home and work life starts with knowing which one is a priority for you. I love my job, but I never forget priority number one is being a father to a loving family I cherish more than anything.

2) What’s the most important thing that your own parents taught you?
The more I look back on my parents, the more I believe the one lesson they were trying to teach me was resilience. Life isn’t always easy – the same goes for parenting – but things happen for a reason and if you refuse to give up, you’ll make it out better and stronger in the end.
