If your kid needs a role model and you ain't it, you're both fucked.

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.

A father has to be a provider, a teacher, a role model, but most importantly, a distant authority figure who can never be pleased. Otherwise, how will children ever understand the concept of God?

If we fail to provide boys with pro-social models of the transition to adulthood, they may construct their own. In some cases, gang initiation rituals, street racing, and random violence may be the result.

It's good for kids to look up to sporting role models.

I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.
