His dream was to participate in an IronMan Triathlon. So his brother made it come true. 🥹❤️

This was a fun press conference and a must-listen for Crimson Tide fans

Nate Oats recaps Alabama's win over Clemson and looks ahead to Final Four vs. UCONN

Oats reflected on when he accepted the Crimson Tide head coaching job and how he embraced Alabama being a football school.

Several great personal stories about his rise to be one of the top CBB coaches in the country.

Oats talks about his relationship with Saban and how Saban helped him become a better coach

Where we are going as men in @F3Nation may cause a lot of people a lot of heartburn.
It won’t be easy. But if it was easy, we wouldn’t need leaders.

@Brian_Sauve has my vote.

This! Thanks for your leadership @darkhelmetF3

I’ve been saying @F3Nation is not an organization that will change the world.
F3 is an organization that will change men, and they will change the world.

For years, I’d expect my family to leave me alone for a period of “decompression” when I got home from work.

I’ve always worked in highly relational/conversation-based positions. I’d often arrive home in an overstimulated state and disappear to my office for 20 mins.

My wife would want me to deal with a discipline issue with a kid or be interested in what happened in my day.

My kids would want to tell me about their day or have a thousand requests requiring permission from Dad.

But I just wanted space.
I was fried.

"Give me a min, guys."

I slowly came to see that this was a missed opportunity. It was a failure of leadership. The way I re-entered my home after a long day of work played an important role in the forming of my home's culture.

A man doesn’t just provide resources.
He provides leadership.

I decided that I would use “re-entry” as an opportunity to provide leadership with 3 habits:

#1 - I didn’t listen to anything on the way home. I used the drive to pray, organize my thoughts & prepare myself to do some more work. Habits two & three flow from this first one.

Habits 2 and 3 start the moment I walked through the door.

#2 When I get home I asked my wife if there were any discipline or pastoral issues that needed a father’s touch (Heb. 12:11). There are many situations in which a mother needs the father to step in. Jump on those!

After dealing with my kids, I move to...

#3 Telling my wife something about my day. She’s been with kids all day. Zero adult conversation. Moreover, she is the key support to the mission I’m engaged in. I want her to know what she is accomplishing by being a 'helpmate' to me.

I see a lot of complementarian pastors chiding men for not chipping in with the dishes & laundry.

I rarely do either.
I'm not above it.
She just usually has it knocked out.

Plus, me fathering my kids and encouraging my wife does 10x more for the well-being of our household.

My household doesn't need a second mother.
It needs a father.

These habits have helped me get to that work the moment I walk thru the door.

Find what works for you.

Look for ways to seize all opportunities to lead your home.

P.S. I repost this once a year.

F3 Downrange at F3 Kabale, Uganda. @F3Nation @F3BhmEast @darkhelmetF3 #freedtolead

@scottdawson My wife was called by the Lord from the preaching of Junior Hill at the age of 7. I found redemption and faith through the gospel lived out in a girl at the University of Alabama (that I ended up marrying). I thank God for the life and ministry of Junior Hill.
