Rick Burgess: 我父亲比尔·伯吉斯不仅是我的足球教练，更是我人生的导师。他教导我男人不应该在雨中奔跑，这意味着在面对困难时要保持冷静和坚定，不要惊慌失措。他还教导我要走出观众席，积极参与生活，而不是做一个旁观者。此外，要避免愚蠢的行为，为自己的生活承担全部责任，不要找借口。从我父亲身上，我学会了自信与自负的区别，以及如何在领导岗位上保持谦逊和风趣。他的人生智慧对我影响深远，特别是在我经历失去孩子的悲剧时，他教导我的原则帮助我度过了难关。 Brett McKay: 瑞克，你父亲的教诲非常实用，涵盖了生活的方方面面。他强调责任、自信和积极参与，这些都是成为一个真正男人的重要品质。你父亲的故事也提醒我们，父亲的认可对孩子至关重要，特别是在他们成年后。父亲的肯定能给予他们信心和勇气，帮助他们面对人生的挑战。总的来说，你父亲的人生智慧不仅适用于足球场，也适用于生活的各个领域，对所有男人都有重要的借鉴意义。

Shownotes Transcript

When Rick Burgess was growing up, his father, Bill Burgess, was also his football coach. But Bill was a mentor on and off the field not only for his own son but for the many young men he coached at both the high school and collegiate level. Though Bill has passed on, his lessons remain timeless and valuable for all men. Today on the show, Rick shares some of his old-school wisdom with us. 

Rick is a radio host, a men's ministry leader, and the author of Men Don't Run in the Rain: A Son's Reflections on Life, Faith, and an Iconic Father. In our conversation, he discusses what his dad taught him through football and beyond, including why men don't run in the rain and why you need to get out of the stands, avoid being stupid, refuse to rest on your laurels, understand the difference between confidence and arrogance, and take full responsibility for your life without making excuses. We also talk about how Rick drew upon his father's wisdom when tragedy struck his life.
