WARMUP: Coach Dunn had ‘em hit the ground for 20 merkins followed by a dedicated focus on loose groins

THE THANG:
First and foremost, this workout is dedicated to Coach Wayne Dunn, who worked as hard and inspired us to be ready for the start of football season. Actual quotes and insights provided from Coach Dunn to the innocent Pluto when he was a freshman in high school were shared with the Pax to help them mature and understand the ways of the world. We also played some football because it’s an American game and America is the oldest and greatest country in the world. Per coach Dunn.
– First set was a set of 11s featuring picnic table box jump Burpee’s and big boys
– Second exercise was an experiment to ensure we had football players. The PAX was divided into group of threes where a 5 minute monkey roll drill was completed.
– Next exercise was two laps around the back side of the asylum building with five Burpee sets split between each loop.
– Next exercise was of vital importance and was inspired by one of the Tennessee Vols away games this year the Pax was divided into groups of two that opposed another group of two in a modified version of the Oklahoma drill.
– After a 30 second break the Pax ran to the bottom of the hill completed 20 Merkins and ran back to the playing field.
– The final exercise was a game of touch football

COT:
The power of Prayer. After this weekend’s assassination attempt on Trump, I thought the best reaction to the current political upheaval in our country is to pray. There is power in prayer. The political temperature in our county is running red hot, and it needs to cool down. I believe there is power in prayer, and I shared the story of Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20. Hezekiah followed God fairly well, and when he was told by the prophet Isaiah that he was about to die, Hezekiah prayed vehemently that God would allow him to live. Based on Hezekiah’s earnest prayer, God spared him and allow him to live 15 more years. He changed God’s mind. Let us pray for God’s mercy and grace on the USA.
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: don’t judge other culture’s rituals and traditions until you fully understand their meaning. I used to complain about certain Chinese dinner and drinking traditions when I would travel to China on business. Recently , I took the time to dig a little deeper to understand the meaning and history of those traditions and I now know that are not based on some loose history but are mostly based on honoring coworkers and business associates and expressing a high level of respect. Some examples- the round table- allows no “head”, everyone is the same. lowering your glass during toast- shows respect for the other. Walking around the table toasting – taking the time to show respect and appreciation. Serving food to visitors- respect. I will not complain about these traditions anymore. I encourage you to take the time to understand the meaning of unique traditions from other cultures when you have the opportunity.
