COT – John Wooden shares a birthday with my dad – and it’s coming up next month. Here is Wooden’s philosophy on Friendship:

The two qualities of Friendship that are so important are respect and camaraderie. To me these are the most noteworthy characteristics of true Friendship as it pertains to leadership. Think how much you’ll give when asked to do so by someone you respect and with whom you share camaraderie. You will give plenty, all you’ve got.

Thus, I sought and valued these two particular qualities of Friendship in my relationship with individuals on the UCLA men’s basketball team. I did not seek their affection nor wish to become buddies. Mutual respect and camaraderie strengthen your team. Affection, in fact, may weaken it by tempting you to play favorites.

Where Friendship exists you will find the makings of a formidable organization. That is why it is in the foundation of my Pyramid of Success.

THE THANG:
Special edition 26th Birthday Q. Moseyed to WL High School.

1. Rounds of 26: PAX did 26 reps of an exercise OYO, sprinted out 40 yards, moseyed back. Repeat-o with next exercise. Exercises were burpees, BWS, lunges, merkins, mountain climbers, flutter kicks, big boi situps.

2. Diego 3-2-1 (Dora’s more competitive cousin). Like Dora, but partner PAX don’t combine their reps, they are racing each other to complete. PAX 1 accumulates reps of exercise while PAX 2 sprints 40 yards out and back. Switch until one PAX reaches goal. 300 calf raises, 200 mountain climbers, 100 merkins. Major Payne won all 3 rounds.

3. Mosey back to start for 11s to drain the time. 10 burpees and 1 flutter kick (IC). Then 9-2, 8-3, continued until 6-5 and then called it done.

MARY: Each picked an exercise.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: IronPAX, GrowRuck, hiking trip.
COT: YHC reflected on his birthday of advice I would give to myself 1 year ago. Don’t put so much stock in the opinion of others or let fear of what they might think dictate how I make decisions. Trust my inner circle and take it God in prayer, decide, and keep moving forward.
