Reminder...fall semester move-in dates...new incoming people move-in on Saturday, August 14th / returnees move-in on Monday, August 16th. For the upperclassmen, we know there may be some conflicts with internships, summer jobs, etc. Notify us as soon as possible of any conflicts. Regarding training, nothing changes for the next two weeks... one long run, two easy tempos, and hills on Thu.
For this week, above, from Amazon Prime, Bosch Season 7, comes a succinct and accurate reiteration of our team philosophy...everybody matters or nobody matters.
And below, from former Navy Seal and author of "Can't Hurt Me", David Goggins, is his description on how to be a great teammate...
"A lot of people in life want to feel victory with putting in minimal work. While being a part of a team is very important, you don't want to be the team member who gets carried through every evolution.
When I was going through training, we used to carry these logs. There were 6 people on one log so it was easy to hide out on that log. People could act like they were trying their hardest by the look on their faces. In reality, while there were 6 people on that log, only 3-4 were truly carrying it. In addition to the log, they were also carrying the other 2-3 people that weren't pulling their own weight.
I got a chance to realize all of this when they made the lie detector log. This particular log had six different small logs connected by a chain therefore each person had to carry their own. Under this log, there was no hiding and therefore they got exposed.
While team is very important, you must first be a good individual with maximum accountability. Make sure when you are pulled from the team and put on the lie detector that you are not the weakest link!
Never hide amongst the strong pillars in your team. Make sure you work your ass off to be one of them! Stay hard!"
