Preparedness at the Coaches Box

Leave a comment

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.

THE THANG:

Mosey to the front of FMHS

Choose you own adventure

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Brief mozy followed by SSH, Moroccan Night clubs, Mountain climbers, low slow squats
THE THANG: As a kid YHC enjoyed the “choose your own adventure” books where you get to make decisions about what happens in the story. On a somewhat rainy Tuesday, the Pax got to decide which story they wanted. Option one was a board of pain with higher reps under cover and dry. Option two was lower reps but with running between stations in the rain. It turns out it wasn’t much of a discussion and everyone (just 3 of us due to a bad weather forecast) chose option two.
Reps were 30 each and after each exercise we ran to the next of four locations at the AO. Exercises were: Burpees, Sumo Squats, American Hammers, Freddy Mercurys, Plank Jacks, Merkins, Moroccan Night Clubs, Shoulder Taps, LBCs, Carolina Dry Docks, Calf Raises, SSH, Wide arm Merkins, Flutters, Mountain Climbers.
MARY: Included some in roving board of pain
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood drive and D2DB registration.
COT: Thankful the rain wasn’t as bad as predicted. Support of fellow Pax regardless of weather conditions.
