Pre-Thang:

BT and Mayme to lead Choppy up-downs – spread out 5 yards apart in columns.  Everytime the whistle blows, hit the ground

Mayme to ask for a Water Break after.  BT to respond with: Water is for cowards. Water makes you weak. Water is for washing blood off that uniform and you don’t get no blood on my uniform, boy you must be outside your mind! We are going to do up-downs, until Blue is no longer tired, and thirsty.

Thang:

  1. Station 1 **Push group**: “How many feet are in a mile? HOW MANY FEET ARE IN A MILE?  5,280 feet! You pick this ball up and run every one of ’em! You’re killing me, Petey! You’re killing me!”

      2. Hold partner for a piggy back for 30 second count at the bottom
  3. Station 3: “We will be perfect in every aspect of the game. You drop a pass, you run a mile. You miss a blocking assignment, you run a mile. You fumble the football, and i will break my foot off in your John Brown hind parts and then you will run a mile. Perfection. Let’s go to work.”
  1. 20 Big Boys
  2. 20 Box Cutters
  3. 60 second plank

COT:

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Indifferent Things
    • How we can describe anything in life. 
    • Think of the game in Remember the Titans where refs were calling everything against them.
      • Can you think of situations like that in your life?
    • Easy to get held down or be negative about the situations we experience. 
    • Only the things which are up to us can be either good or bad, and all those that aren’t up to us get classified as indifferent.
      • The good and bad things are only things within your control.  
      • The indifferent things often get summarized as health, wealth, and reputation; but basically, everything external, everything that is not up to us, gets classified as indifferent.
    • “In poker as in life, you can win with any hand. Sure, you prefer a double ace and a healthy wife, but that’s not up to you. What’s up to you is what you do with the given situation. Once the hand has been dealt, you have no choice but accept what’s too late to change, and you wish no longer for a more preferable hand but for the strength to play it the best you can.”

Thanks!  Mayme and BT
