We learned a lot last weekend. THREE were on the @spartan Sprint course for the first time. The two big lessons of the event: (1) STAY TOGETHER because we’re stronger together than we are apart; and (2) to paraphrase the awesomeness of @jasonjmccarthy if you don’t want to be a QUITTER, you need to QUIT QUITTING! So if you’re going to quit anything, QUIT QUITTING! Nobody got stronger doing easy things, and everyone got a little stronger last weekend. by @thegiveteam

Show up, get recognized. It feels good when the spotlight is on you, but only if you’ve EARNED that spotlight. We had a strong crew show to the @spartan race in Orlando this weekend. This program STARTED as a way to prepare for these races. Over the last 11 years it’s become so much more. Some say that what we do isn’t for everyone. But it IS for everyone. Some just aren’t ready for what it takes to build a strong community and to build strong individuals. by @thegiveteam

Dashawna RAN HER FIRST SPARTAN RACE YESTERDAY! It was hard, but not the hardest thing she’s ever done. She’s an example of strength, determination, and kindness. She embodies our team motto: No matter how little you have, you ALWAYS have something to give.

Four years ago she was airlifted in a helicopter to Shands Children’s Hospital in Gainesville. She spent several months in intensive care with a heart condition and was on the list for a heart transplant. @newimageyouthcenter moved her family to Gainesville so she could have support. A few months later she was released from the hospital, and what followed is being called a miracle. She did NOT need a new heart, she snd her family were able to move back to Orlando, and just last week her doctor told her she has no restrictions. So we’re going slowly and carefully. BUT WE’RE MOVING, and Dashawna is getting stronger every day. taken in The Give Team by @thegiveteam

We all learned a little today. First lesson: Stay together. Second lesson: Quit quitting. A beautiful day with sun and a little cloud cover and some extra work because we need to get stronger. taken in Lake Nona Town Center by @thegiveteam

Why is it the smallest bring the most energy? That energy is CONTAGIOUS! It spreads. Good energy and bad energy. High energy and low energy. Think I’m wrong? Smile when you walk into every room this week. Report back on what happens. And remember, NO MATTER HOW LITTLE YOU HAVE, you ALWAYS have something to give. So give that smile and see how it impacts those around you. And see how that impacts YOU. #bestrong #givemore by @thegiveteam

What we do isn’t all burpees and rucking. This weekend our workout involved SMILES N’ EYES since we’re getting ready for @spartan Race next weekend and will be meeting new people. Next weekend we’ll practice with people we’ve never met.

What is it? It’s how you approach adults. You smile, look them in the eyes, shake their hand, and say, “Hi, my name is _______. What’s your name?” Then repeat their name as a question to make sure you got it. Then repeat it again by saying, “Nice to meet you, ________.”

Because first impressions are important. Showing up STRONG is important.

The funny thing? The two youngest guys did the best. by @thegiveteam

Just running around. This morning our strength session was a review of the things we’ve discussed so far. Leadership Non-Negotiables and the next topic on the Leadership Operating System. We focused on ACCOUNTABILITY, which goes hand-in-hand with integrity. We retested the benchmark, then ran around a little. Next week, @spartan - who we gonna see? by @thegiveteam

Get up. Get down. Get back up. Get down. There’s weight in there. Some people are carrying more. Some are carrying less. For some, it’s easier. For some it’s harder because of the weight they’re carrying. And those who get used to carrying the heaviest weight with a smile become the strongest. Like life. #bestrong #givemore by @thegiveteam

Saturdays are where we work it all out. It’s called BUILDING STRENGTH. It’s not just about going far distances or lifting heavy things. It’s about facing adversity and pushing through. This Saturday, Strength Sessions will be on our own. But after that we’ll be together every weekend until the end of the year. Who’s in? Who’s up for building a stronger community by working through our own challenges? 7:30 on Saturday, October 3rd. NIYC. DM for additional details. Or text coach. He’s easy to find. #bestrong #givemore by @thegiveteam
