The picture above says it all. Veteran SC athlete "CJ" (16 yrs old) teaching a new SC athlete "Josue" how to properly front squat.
CJ has been training at Steve's Club for about a year and a half now. I would never tell him this in public (as to not overinflate his ego!), but he is one of, if not our best all around athlete. The kid is a machine. CJ might only weigh 140 lbs, but he can do it all. Not only does he crush every bodyweight exercise in the book, but he can also move some weight. Today he snatched 170lbs before getting 50 reps in the workout above at 115lbs.
CJ is not only a terrific athlete, but a great student in school as well as a charming, well-mannered young gentleman.
So it is no wonder that the other kids look up to and turn to CJ for assistance....which CJ is always so kind and generous to do his very best to help any new kids feel welcomed and a strong part of our club.
I'm really proud to coach CJ and look forward to watching him continue to succeed on and off the gym mat.
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."
