COT: 5th core principle

Q-school lessons shared from 3 C’s and four corners. Reminders that simple can be effective. In keeping the group together, four corners and self-explanatory exercises are helpful to keeping pax connected and together during a workout – all while embodying the credo of leaving no man behind but not leaving him where you found him.

Thanks for the call Deep Dish.

The 3 lessons of leadership were shared at the end as a segue to the 2nd/3rd f discussion and how we navigate this in our lives.

1) YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE HARD DECISIONS THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACT
PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT.

2) YOU WILL BE DISLIKED DESPITE YOUR BEST ATTEMPTS TO DO THE BEST FOR THE MOST.
3) YOU WILL BE MISUNDERSTOOD, AND YOU WON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE CHANCE TO DEFEND YOURSELF.

COT:
QSource – Q1.3 – Queen – what we put in our bodies – nutrition. You can’t or king your Queen. Meaning you cannot do enough fitness (king) to get to ignore nutrition. The sooner we accept this the sooner we can work on the balance. It is as much( if not more) a quality game as it is a numbers(calorie) game. AND factors like Sleep & Stress have proven physiological impacts on the what the body does with the food you give it.

Lay the bricks –
build positive habit through trial and error – one brick at a time. What works for 1 may not work for another.
