The Sandlot and a Discussion

Preamble:

Have been looking forward to this 30:30 beatdown. Braves won the night before and went from 17 games behind (my) Phillies to 16. More on that below…

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey to upper field where we did Weed Pickers IC and Michael Phelps OYO. Only 30 minutes for the beatdown so I explained the setup, split into teams and we got started.

The Thang:

4 cones (bases) in a rough baseball diamond shape. Home plate was always 16 burpees thanks to the Braves being 16 games behind the far superior Phillies. Each team had a member at each base to perform the exercises AMRAP style while the home plate PAX did the burpees. Once burpees were completed you ran to first to begin the AMRAP exercise. First would run to 2nd, 2nd runs to 3rd and 3rd runs home to start the burpees. Repeat until everyone has gone to each base. Then huddle around the pitchers mound (middle where speaker was) to hear what the next inning exercises were:

• First inning: 16 burpees (HP), Merkins (1B), Squats (2B) and LBCs (3B)
• Second inning: 16 burpees (HP), Prime-Time Merkins (1B), Monkey Humpers (2B) and Imperial Walkers (3B)
• Third inning: 16 burpees (HP), Carolina Dry Docks (1B), Lunges (2B) and Heels to Heaven (3B)

COT:

Mosey back to flag where we held a high plank for ~ 2 minutes while a few PAX told some jokes. The Body was upset there were no bear crawls this morning.

We had a powerful discussion about ‘self talk’ and how the little voice inside our heads has a bigger impact on our lives than we might realize.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Honored to lead this 30:30. The beatdown was challenging and the discussion was just as challenging. I hope the PAX got as much out of this as I did and that the conversation around this topic continues. Thankful for this group!
