Circle of Trust

Today is a momentous day for F3 Crossroads region Even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

From our perspective right now we could be proud that three guys got up decided to get after it and get better.

When you zoom out, You realize that as a region we had nearly twice as many people working out as Friday. Today there was a VQ and I’m sure there was a ton of excitement and hopefully that excitement was contagious and we have other guys stepping up to begin to lead.

Before I got fat, I played football. I played for a long time and I played a lot of positions. One season I was asked to move from running back to guard. I went from scoring touchdowns, to helping guys I competed with score touchdowns. It was a humbling experience. But I learned a lot especially when I was asked to be a pulling guard.

A pulling guard would be when I would run along the backside of the offensive line, and use leverage and momentum to hopefully provide a larger path for the running back. The fact that I was able to build up some speed and know that I would always have the upper hand, I began to take a lot of pride in this play. Whenever this play was called, and I decleated a defensive lineman or a linebacker, I have the same satisfaction as when I was the one scoring the touchdown.

We need leaders at all levels. We need guys scoring touchdowns. And we should also take pride when we facilitate those touchdowns Even if we aren’t scoring them ourselves.
