Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White says becoming a father has given him a new perspective on life.
The England man became a dad to son Graysen in November and feels the new arrival has helped calm him down.
"It's the best feeling in the world. No feeling can describe it. It's the hardest thing in the world as well," the 24-year-old said.
"It [life] has changed for the better, it's calmed me down and chilled me out. It's another purpose to do well in football and do well in life.
"Ever since he's been with us, everything I do is for him. Every decision I make now I think twice about. Now he's getting to the age where he's got personality and is starting to express himself. He has this belly laugh going, I'm loving it."
He also revealed playing in India - winning the World Cup with England Under-17s in 2017 - helped him find perspective as a teenager.
"To see the poverty over there, we are so lucky to be in the position we are. To see that at 17, it matures you straight away," he said.
"We stayed at a lovely hotel but as soon as you step out there are people on the streets naked, washing themselves in the sewers. You value life and appreciate what you have back home."
