I tell the guys this workout is from a moderate workout back in June 2020…which I don’t think I treated it as moderate back then.
Point out 4 corners about 40 yards from the center. At each corner, start with 5, then come to middle for 1 burpee, then to the next corner for 5, back to center for 1, until you hit all corners and center. Then go up to 10 at each corner and back to center for 2 burpees…and so on. Do this increase of 5 at corners and then keep adding burpees until 25 at the corners and 5 burpees in the center.
4 corners were: ranger merkins, knee jumps, American hammers, CDD.
It was a crowd pleaser and took pretty much the full time. We picked up the 6 so some guys got some bonus which was nice and we did the last round of 25s and 5 burpees as a group.

Leadership message;
The topic was parenting…Couple key points:
Lead by example, do you have your kids do as you do or do as you say? Or are there two sets of rules?
Hold to a set of family values, is there a clear set of values and principles? Maybe even put them on the wall somewhere
Allow space for failure, don’t be hasty to judge, criticize and even being sarcastic can stifle a culture where your kids are comfortable failing in the home- much like the gloom for us, we can feel confident to try things and sometimes fail.
Be a father first friend second, society tells us to let your kids do whatever they want in the name of personal preferences, we aren’t here to placate every desire of our children, we need to be fathers!
and remember this life is nothing but dust in the wind! What will your legacy be? Do your kids know God? Better yet do they know Christ?

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
Weather was 32 degrees and chilly but the lights were on and YHC was prepped for a Q to discuss Jester and Preparedness
Simply defined, the Jester is temptation of the flesh that hinders Acceleration. It is a stumbling block that a man continuously trips over in his effort to become a Pro.
The Jester tells a man several lies including:
1. You are the boss of me
2. You are what you do
3. You are not a bad guy
4. Jester and Virtue can coexist
5. You can’t live, if living is without me
But the antidote to the Jester is preparedness, preparing for what is expected and what is unexpected. The addition of love to this preparation leads to diminishing the Jester. But it is a battle that a Man must fight throughout his life.
