The “Ultimate” Beatdown

THE SCENE: Cool and calm
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Mosey to oval office (track) with some leg stretches along the way.
THA-THANG:

Since this was acting as my birthday queue, we did one of my favorite things….played ultimate frisbee!  It was dark of course so we played on the Middle School football field where the most lights are.  It worked but was a challenge to catch dew (see what I did there?) to the wet grass and when the disc was coming from the direction of the lights (since they are only really on one side of the field).

When the disc was dropped we did merkins for awhile but ended up modifying to keep game play moving.  The team that was scored on had to do 10 burpees.

MARY:
cherry pickers, overhead claps, little baby crunches

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The day before I lost my patience and control when it was time for the boys to get in the car for school.  It ultimately ended up well as I was able to model apologizing and talked with my son about how I could have handled the situation better.  I have continued to reflect on the situation and come to realize that I lost control of myself because I felt like I lost control of the situation.  My main takeaways from the experience were:

  1. It’s okay to not be in control of a situation but it’s not okay to not be in control of yourself
  2. In order to be able to respond in a better way, I need to work on myself outside of those moments.  It’s much like sports, you get better outside of games.  That’s what practice is for.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

To understand what discipline really is and what it really means, let’s look at the origin of the word to find its intent and true form.

The root word of discipline is “disciple,” which comes from the Latin word discipulus meaning “student.” Most people believe a disciple is a follower (probably because of the religious context), but in reality it means student—as in, “one who studies.”

The word “discipline” is from the Latin word disciplina, meaning “instruction and training.” It is derived from the root word discere—”to learn.”

So what is discipline?

Discipline is to study, learn, train, and apply a system of standards.

When we lose our personal discipline, also our choice, we give control away to other people, external circumstances, and the inevitable randomness of life. We drift and become the plaything of circumstances (Viktor Frankl—”Man’s Search for Meaning”).

More discipline, more choice, more control. Better options. Higher standards. Improved skill. More flexibility.

Less discipline, less choice, less control. Fewer options. Lower standards. Inadequate skill. Less flexibility.

What Does Discipline Mean?

Life Is All About Choices

THE SCENE: Cool, crisp morning in the gloom!
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Cherry Pickers IC x10
  • SSH IC (sorta) x10
  • Windmills IC (Rep Sleepy) x?
  • Little bit of “this” & little bit of “that” stretching

Mosey down to Nair’s favorite bench / table…

THA-THANG:

  • Partner workout – PAX 1 rolls the dice, runs to the corresponding station, completes the workout & runs back to the starting point (bench / table). Simultaneously, PAX 2 is performing step-ups on the bench.
  1. B-Ball Court #1 – Slides across sideline (5 – single count)
  2. B-Ball Court #2 – OH Press w/CMU (x20)
  3. Parking Lot – Merkins (x20)
  4. Bridge – WWIIs
  5. Pavilion – Wall-Sits (30 sec hold)
  6. Field next to grindstone – Dry Docks (x20)

If any PAX rolled the same number twice in a row, then his partner had to forego step-ups and run to the station with him and complete the exercise again.
