FROM INTERNATIONAL FAIR PLAY. ORG
https://www.fairplayinternational.org/history-of-fair-play-
Baron Pierre de Coubertin was the man who founded the Olypmpic Committee in 1894.
Sporting fights off physical and moral decay. He firmly believed: “There are not two parts to a man, body and soul; there are three, body, mind and character. Character is not formed by the mind, but primarily by the body. The men of antiquity knew this, and we are painfully relearning it. ”
He also emphasised that sport is a universal language and a catalyst for universal harmony capable of bringing people together and teaching them values like mutual respect, solidarity, tolerance and fair play.

COT: Be ready for your moment and enjoy the moment. These college players have spent hours over their lifetime practicing in the hope of reaching the NCAA tournament. They’ve worked hard to get to the point where they can take their shots on the biggest stage; be ready for your moment. For many it will also be the end of their competitive playing days and the last time they will play for their coach and with their teammates; enjoy the moment.

AO: thepatriot
Q: Bone
PAX: Wedding Singer, Ice Tea, Booking, citrus, Bone, Hobbyhorse, Big Short, bogey, @smokey @skymiles @rooney @coconuts FNGs: None
COUNT: 12

WARMUP: Fellowship lap to actually warm up first. Side straddle hops, Root vegetable extractors, Willy Mays Hays, Michael Phelps, BWS, Downward Dog, Cobra Kai, merkins.
THE THANG: Tour of the AO with lunges in the parking lot, to high knees. Rockettes over the bike rack (did anyone actually do this, besides me?) and down to the arena. Count off by 2s: 1s are timers for 2s and vice-a-versa. Hop up the steps like the Easter bunny and run back to the arena while the other group performs box jumps then derkins then step ups, then wall sit. Mountain man poopers to stretch it out after the four rounds. Bear crawl to the benches for dips to be sure the Easter bunny can get heavy chocolate eggs up to the top shelf. Mosey to the basketball court for BWSs while the other group ran suicides on the court. To the wall for Jenner’s! This is a crowd pleaser and a time honored classic (one of the few new exercises introduced by the legend that worked out). 10 Australian push-ups as the timer for two rounds. Back to the field for a ring of fire 5 merkins per PAX.
MARY: LBCs, Freddy Mercuries, Toy Soldiers, Supermans, Flutter Kick – some weak style others strong. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Boneathon May 26th-ride your bike if you don’t run. Hamilton AO kicked off at TJ.
COT: Seconded bogey on checking in with others. Aristotle- The roots of learning are bitter; the fruit is sweet. YHC trained to qualify for Boston and lost 18 pounds in the process. This has caused a lot of knee pain due to lack of support from muscle atrophy. Learning is that proper training requires the whole package, eat right and do proper strength exercises to keep the supporting muscles strong.
