3rd F ——> Small quote about children and how to be a better parent by listening to them. For most, it’s the first time they’ve seen or done whatever it is they are trying to show you, so act surprised… act as if you would want someone to act if you showed them something for the first time! (See picture posted below)

DAKOTA LOUIS MEYER – Medal of Honor Recipient -What an absolute STUD of a Marine! The guy kept going back for more and then even got out of his truck on foot (Basically asking for more when the enemy couldn’t take him out, See below)

Plank Off Game 

Divide into two teams, facing each other.  Starting on same line, 

• Run back to a cone (approximately 20 yards away)
• Do the prescribed work there
• Return to starting line and get into plank
• Must hold plank until entire team is back
• If you drop plank, you run to 20 yd cone over again (just run to cone and back/ no exercises) 
• Winning team now adds 2 burpees before they can run to 20 yard cone on next round
• 1st round/ 10 big boys, 2nd round/ 10 squats, 3rd round/ 10 burpees

Reaction Tag 

Split group into two teams.  Team 1 and Team 2.

Line in middle of parking lot is divider.  I will throw dice:

• if it lands on an odd number team 1 takes off running back to their safe zone (Approximately 20 yards away) while team 2 attempts to catch them.  
• If dice lands on even number, team 2 runs back to their safe zone (Approximately 20 yards away) while team 1 tries to catch them. 

(You must run to safe zone in a straight line so nobody gets hurt!!!!) 

**** If you get caught, you must complete 2 burpees ****

The Thang

Split into teams of 3… Gather up and face another team.  You will count 3,2,1 and then one person from each team will pick a number 1 thru 10 and shout it out at the same time, (Highest number wins, but both teams will have to do the reps their team shouted out).  Whatever team picked the highest number is penalized, therefore you have to run to roadway and back as the losing teams face off while waiting for the winners to get back. Once you reach a total of 50 total points, you can hold plank. the following were the exercises that need completing;

Carolina Dry Docks 

Big boys  

Burpees 

Air squats 

Overhead shoulder presses 

Blockie curls 

Mike Tyson’s  

Merkins 

Plank jacks 

Forward lunges from grass to light poles and then reverse lunges (walking backward while facing forward) back to the grass

3. Competence under stress cannot be created after emergencies occur.
4. After writing an angry email or post, read it carefully. Then delete it.
5. Give credit. Take the blame.
6. Add value everywhere you go.
7. Change the world, don’t let it change you.
8. Try writing your own eulogy. Never stop revising.
9. Always leave something better than you found it.
