This is an amazing story of a Dad, and hero in a typical American town. Saving lives, at the risk of losing his own. When teaching defensive tactics at DefendFit, I talk about how we can, at times, “rise to the occasion”, this hero Dad did just that.
It’s great to hear his story, his humble perspective, his regret, emotional struggle, insight, and desire to make a difference.
So many times we’re hearing a story of not rising to the occasion.
Or even defaulting to the level of previous training.
It makes me reflect to continue to improve as a Dad, as well as every role we are given. And ask myself if I’m truly prepared and am I preparing each of my students?
What I can do better? Or differently.
