In this episode of "Diary of a Runpreneur," I delve into the challenges and opportunities of character building for my nearly 13-year-old son. As he navigates a transformative year marked by the onset of puberty and the struggles of regaining his place in his football team after battling long Covid, I share a powerful message inspired by former professional footballer Robin van Persie. We explore the distinction between a loser's mentality and a winner's mentality, and how instilling the latter can make a profound impact on a child's life. Join me as I reflect on these learnings and seek your insights on helping my son overcome an excuses mentality. Your feedback and support mean the world.

Stay positive, stay happy, and let's raise funds to save the lives of children together.
