Do your teammates
give you stick
about getting
a dad bod now?
Yes, a few of the
younger players
like to comment
‘dad bod’ when
jumping in the
showers. However
we all know that
it’s just a myth.
Is there a stigma
attached to
dad bods that
is unfair?
Yes as I mentioned,
I think it’s a tag line
and there’s not
much truth to it.
Anyone given you
parental advice?
A million friends,
dads, team mates
and random
strangers have
given me parental
advice. However,
I believe you find
your own way.
How has your daily
routine changed
now that you’re
a father?
At the moment
not a lot. It means
I get in the bath
at the same time
every night with
my daughter and
maybe I don’t
need my alarm
clock anymore
but we have an
amazing little baby
girl who loves
being outdoors.The hardest thing
about becoming
a dad?
I guess the early
months are
extremely hard
with less sleep and
the fact you have
a little baby totally
dependant on you
now. Otherwise it
has been the most
enjoyable ride of
my life.
What has had to
budge in order
to properly play
out your role as
a father?
I guess you could
say my golf game
has taken a bit of
a back seat.
What tips do you
have for regular
dads who don’t
have fitness and
exercise ingrained
into their day job?
I think it’s
important, as
new parents,
that you find
time to do things
for yourselves.
If you’re lucky
enough to have
family close by,
take the help
and keep up
your training.
Or, you and your
partner create
the opportunities
for each other to
do ‘normal’ every
day activities.FIT
