How Mike Tyson Helped Me Become the Best Dad I Could Be

Even Though I Never Had a Good Fatherly Role Model…

By Matt P. from Portland, OR

I was the awkward kid growing up…and my son was too.

Me? I made due by being the class clown. Even though I was never the most popular, I figured out how to make people laugh and get along that way.

And I always told myself that was good enough. I figured it would be good enough for my son too.

Until one horrible day proved that wrong…
See, my son has always loved baseball, so we signed him up for the little leagues as soon as we could. 

And just like a younger version of me…he was not exactly “gifted” athletically. Heck, let’s be honest, he was slow, awkward, and uncoordinated compared to all the other kids.

Even though I could see the defeat in his face every time he came home from practice…I told myself he’d turn the corner somehow. That this whole experience would toughen him up

And then came that one fateful game…

My son was in the outfield (like always) when the ball hit him straight in the nose. 

He crumpled to the ground howling in pain, so my Papa Instincts kicked in and I ran across the field to try to help him out.

Little did I know I was only making things worse.

Because as I ran across the field, all the other kids started laughing and calling out jokes.

“Look! Joey’s dad runs like a girl too!”

“Here comes daddy to save his little baby!”

“Is Daddy gonna cry too?”

I was humiliated…and by the time I reached my son he smacked my hand away and told me to leave him alone.

That’s when the reality hit me like a ton of bricks.

I was the one who failed my son.

I had spent his whole life setting a bad example…and here he was paying the price for it.

Because I never taught him how to confront problems head-on. I never taught him how to make himself stronger or stick out in times of struggle.

And maybe that’s because my dad wasn’t around when I grew up…so nobody ever taught me all that stuff either.

But now it was different. I WAS there for my son and it was MY responsibility to set things right.

I couldn’t sleep that night…so I went and looked up one of my personal heroes. Someone who knows how to bounce back from defeat better than anyone else.

Mike Tyson.

And little did I know…that would lead me to a life-changing discovery that would turn everything around for me.

Through each of the 12 life lessons he teaches in “12 Rounds with Tyson”...I became a completely different man.
I became more assertive…and finally got the promotion I should’ve gotten years ago.

I became a better listener…and I’m now closer with my wife than we’ve ever been before.

I discovered how to control my emotions…and now I’m calm and collected even in the most stressful situations.

Best of all…I’m finally able to help my son become the athlete he wants to be.

And all because I got in the ring with the legend himself…Mike Tyson.
