This past weekend CrossFit Tribe and Steve's Club drove up to the mainline in Philly to CrossFit King of Prussia (owned by Aimee Lyons) to do the "Lumberjack 20", a hero workout fundraiser dedicated to help support the families of the four fallen Lumberjack CrossFit soldiers at Fort Hood, Tx. It was a brutally tough workout, but well worth the effort and the drive to get behind and donate to this worthwiled cause.
Today, I asked Charlie if he learned anything new about himself from that workout. He said, "Yeah, I learned to push myself harder than I ever had." And isn't that really the main point of what we do here at Steve's Club? When the going gets tough as it most often does in life, rather than give up and shrug your shoulders without a care in the world, we push through it and come out at the other end stronger and better than we were yesterday.
I think Charlie's answer to my question really hit the nail on the head and summed up nicely what is that CrossFit teaches us - to push your body and mind past your its perceieved limits.
As Coach Burgener is fond of saying, "90% of it is between your ears."
The greatest discovery any outsider could make about Camden is it's overriding response to failure: If it didn’t work last year, do it AGAIN this year (and if possible do it MORE).
Every year they pass more laws, hire more police, build more prisons, and sentence more offenders for longer periods-all without moving one inch closer to “ending” crime. If it didn’t work last year or the year before that or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Every year they spend more money on schools, hoping to “fix” whatever’s wrong with them, and every year the schools remain stubbornly unfixed. Spending money didn’t work last year or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Every year they try to make the criminals go away, and every year they remain with us. We couldn’t shoehorn these criminals back into the “the mainstream” last year or the year before that or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Maybe its time to TRY something DIFFERENT.
Afterall, IF Camden is saved, it will not be saved by old minds with new programs but by new minds with no programs at all.
Much of my inspiration comes from Daniel Quinn in "Ishmael."
