How To Be an All Pro Dad
July 7th, 2009 by JR Griggs
All Pro Dad is an amazing organization started by Tony Dungy. It teams up NFL teams who host the events yearly. Many of the coaches and players will speak at the event. They have done some amazing things and continue to do so. Here I share some of the great things they are doing. Next week I will be writing about an event I will be attending next week.
What Is An All Pro Dad?
An All Pro Dad is a dad who makes the commitment to invest in their kids lives. Many dad’s do not spend enough time with their kids. All Pro Dad was started to help fix that. When a Dad is not in their kids lives the results are almost always bad for the kids and the marriage. I am a strong believer in taking any opportunity you can to spend time with your kids.
When you invest in your kids and your marriage you are an All Pro Dad!
What Does All Pro Dad Do For You?
At All Pro Dad they team up with many NFL teams to host events for fathers and their kids. These events are packed with fun activities and speakers. The kids start off playing on bounce houses and meeting NFL players. Then you and your kids are taken through sessions. Each session has a speaker who goes through some tips on how to be a better dad.
Also at each session you and the kids will do a fun activity. It is an amazing day of fun with the kids, you will also learn valuable tips to improve your relationship with your kids. I do not think I have been to an event yet where I did not get choked up. Especially when they have you write your kids a note about why you love them and they do the same.
These events are generally only $15 for you and up to 4 kids, you also get a free T-shirt. It is more than worth the $15!
They also setup monthly breakfasts at your kids school. They have a daily email that they send out with tips. They provide resources for you and your kids. As I said it is an amazing organization that will no doubt help you with your kids and your marriage.
They have also recently started working with Baseball and College as well. Here in Tampa they are working with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well as the Tampa Bay Rays. Up in Tallahassee they are working with the Florida State Seminoles.
