Billy Napier was hired as the head football coach of the Florida Gators in 2021 after successful seasons at Alabama and Louisiana. At every stop, the father of three has endured challenges to perform well on the field and be influential at home. Ted Lowe and Mark Merrill chat with Coach Napier about how he strives to live, lead, and coach with purpose.

During the football season, Coach Napier sees his players as much, if not more, than his own children. Intentionality has become a big deal for him. So when family time is on his calendar, nothing gets in the way of it. That’s part of knowing your purpose as an employee, husband, and father – prioritizing what and who is most important to you.

Have you thought through the question, “What is my purpose as a dad?” If you’ve never considered it, here are three questions to help you find your purpose as a father.
1. Why am I here?

2. What can you give?

3. Who will you help?

Bottom line: Knowing my purpose makes me a better dad.

Pro Move of the Week: Look at your calendar and find all the things that are family-related. Pledged to protect those events, not bumping them for anything unless it’s an emergency.
