Dad goals: how one Dyno engineer balances three very different jobs

There are millions of father’s out there, and many of them who
balance their time between their job and being a dad. When you’re
dashing home from the office as fast as you can to catch the kids
before the bedtime story, there’s no doubt about it: dads make
massive sacrifices to spend time with their children. We’re big fans
of heart-warming stories, so we thought we’d share one of our
favourite tales about being a dad, a Dyno engineer…and a football
coach. Not content with juggling the busy day-to-day of being a Dyno
engineer, football fan Anth decided to take on the role of manager
for his son Louie’s team, Leam Rangers under 7s. Football coaching
isn’t just a hobby for Anth, it’s in his blood. He played throughout
his teenage years and his other son plays professionally for
Newcastle United’s academy. When asked why he chose to give his
precious Saturday mornings to training up a team of budding
footballers he said: “Training weekly with him is incredible - more
than any dad could ever wish for. The bond that myself and Louie
have is more than a father/son bond – we’re more like friends.”
Based in the north east of England, the team of 14 train every
single Saturday – and their commitment to the beautiful game can
certainly be seen in the team’s rankings. The team takes part in
three tournaments during the season and they’ve won every single one
of them this year – all that training definitely paid off! Not one
to just keep it with the family, Anth approached his manager at
Dyno, Cliff, to see if the franchise would be up for sponsoring
Louie’s team. Cliff agreed straight away, but under one proviso:
that the team swap their usual yellow strip for a bright Dyno
orange. Anth of course, agreed. Well there you have it – a father
who’s got that balance between being a dad, being a friend and
working hard just right. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads
celebrating!
