Just thinking about how different my life is now. Used to go out 5 nights a week, slept til noon, made decent money doing events. Now my biggest thrill is watching my kid score in a game and I'm in bed by 10pm every night. I miss some stuff honestly - the money, the freedom, the parties - but I wouldn't trade it. Becoming a dad made me grow up overnight in the best way.
That's an incredible transformation man. Coaching soccer with your kids beats the club scene every time, even if it took a while to realize it.
This is real growth right here. The fact that you see it as a thrill now instead of something you lost says everything about where your priorities landed.
Going from late nights and events to early mornings at the soccer field sounds like the best kind of life change. Three kids here and I totally get that shift in what feels important.
The life shift is real. I'm just a few years into fatherhood and already can't remember what I used to do with all that free time. Sounds like you found something meaningful though with the coaching.
This hits different. Ten years ago I was out every weekend, now my idea of a good night is getting the kids to bed by 8:30 so I can sit on the couch. Soccer coaching sounds way more fulfilling though.

That's wild to think about. I went from sleeping in til 10 to being up at 6 with the kids. Honestly? I wouldn't trade it but man, those club nights feel like they happened to a different person. How are you finding the coaching gig?
