COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I was effected by this quote I was reading yesterday about Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. First of all, he is heading towards his death and yet stops to serve them. Then, “Jesus served despite the unworthiness of the disciples. Notice John’s reminder that Jesus knew the betrayer was present. Jesus saw them all — one betrayer, one denier, all forsakers! When he needed them most, they would leave him. One of those sets of feet was dirty and sore from an errand that arranged for his torture and death. What did Jesus do? He washed those feet.”

“Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.” – Sheryl Sandberg

Leadership is the ability of an individual or a group of individuals to influence and guide followers or other members of an organization. Being a leader means guiding your men or team in reaching its goal utilizing everyone’s potential. And as F3 HIMs we should set the best examples of being a leader. We showcase these in our workouts, in our Qs, in serving our communities, and even as fathers/children at home.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The workout is dedicated to Coach K (from F3 Low Country) who’s heading to Mayo Clinic to conduct a plan in fighting an insidious disease. Taking part in formulating this plan is doing the 25 burpee challenge everyday, or at least in every workout, for the month of July.

This is to create awareness for the battle that lies before Coach K and to promote a culture where we close ranks and protect, serve, and empower one another.

Push yourself to the limit but always remember to listen to your body. It’s nice to push your boundaries, but also make sure that you don’t push yourself too hard that it defeats your progress. Train, eat, and recover. Recovery is as vital as training. This is where you absorb all what has been put in during the work.

Last Saturday after the Asylum AM workout, I was fortunate enough to meet the living legend, our F3 brother, Pinto and he delivered a great BOM. Going thru multiple surgeries and therapies the past few years, he may not be as strong as the man he was, but he’s definitely a better man than before – as he told about his journey to recovery and slowly getting back to working out with F3 again.
