In our current cycle, training days at Steve's Club are on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday is rest day, open gym or make-up day. Today 4 athletes showed up to work on individual weaknesses and get in a short WOD. When you give most young kids options to not come or rest, most kids take it. We know if school was optional, very few would attend. But not when it comes to a functional fitness program like CrossFit. Kids aren't forced to attend. They want to attend because they enjoy it. They enjoy being great for a few hours and exercising their body and mind. It's a great feeling leaving the gym knowing they accomplished what only the truly motivated can complete. CrossFit is not for the weak or faint of heart.
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."
