Tate's father, Emory Tate, did not take well to his son losing and sounded off on the young child for making up excuses. Upon Tate's mother's intervention, his father took him to a hotel for a few days to stay away from his mother's influence and kept him up for hours playing chess.
After days of the same grueling routine, when a young Tate finally impressed his dad with a winning chess move, his father taught him an important lesson of never giving in to tiredness.
"“You’re more tired now than you were in that tournament, ain’tcha?” “Tired isn’t an excuse son. What’s your last name?” Tate I replied. "Tired or not, you know how to win” My Dad sacrificed his marriage to raise me exceptionally. My mother simply didn’t get it."
Andrew Tate went on to explain how his father gave up his own marriage to ensure his son was raised the 'right' way, which was different from his mother's coddling ways.
"Men raise pussy sons because they cuck to wives. My father lost his wife for ME. I always used to remember this story when deep in the rounds of championship fights. Am I gonna lose because I’m tired? Or just lose."
