12.14.23 BackBlast: The Agony @ Tue County – BigBird Q

PB – 12.12.23 – Tank at Vets (Kitty Litter Q)

YHC is excited to get back out the esteemed Vets AO--one of Louisville's finest.

How Are Fitness and Leadership Related: More Than a Workout

Leadership and Fitness Leadership and Fitness have more in common than one may think on the surface. Men are designed to accelerate through life.  Accelerating requires getting our heads in the right places.  While I’ve exercised first thing in the more for years (6+ with F3 and 10+ before F3), I found F3 provided aContinue reading "How Are Fitness and Leadership Related: More Than a Workout"

222 posts and 15 Q's into my F3 career since July 2022, it was my pleasure and privilege to teach Q School. To keep me humble, the Sky Q made sure I forgot to bring our flags.
