Did we work out? Did we sweat? Did we have a good time? Yes, Yes, and Yes!
In lieu of explaining the normal pre-workout (warm-ups) and the exercises with CB's that we did..I'll get right to the "meat" of this Backblast. Life is full of redeeming moments where at first you fail, and then..BAM…success! Today was like that in our two-hand touch, 3 on 3 football workout. Wait, I'm calling this a "workout" when all we did was play football? Yup!
Team Orange: Grape Ape, TugBoat, and YHC
Team Neon Green: Swede, Mona Lisa, and Baller
Team NG failed on it's first posession to get a touchdown where Team O scored on every drive albeit one. Baller clearly had mad skills and was dealing with two misfits (Mona Lisa & Swede) who would have a hard time catching a cold; missing wide open catches, etc. Although Swede made a acrobatic catch on the sideline and tip-toed…out of bounds. But still, great catch. Mona Lisa struggled with his athletic ability from the start…but here's the awesome part…when the call was "The Next Team to Score Wins" and Team NG got the kickoff…they raced down the field (parking lot) and tumbling in the end zone was Mona Lisa making the Game Winning Touchdown! My assumption is that changed his day for the better today.
Our team (Team Orange) had our own struggles: terrible kickoff punt by YHC, missed throws/catches but TugBoat found Grape Ape in the end zone on a dart for our first score. Bottom line is we screwed up a lot…both teams did…but that's what happens in life. It's not IF you make a mistake, it's HOW that mistake affects the rest of your day, your week, your life! Choose happiness and put a smile on someone else's face today.
That's all-

P.S. I would write more but have to go coach a Varsity Softball Team that's 0-9-1. Talk about choosing happiness huh? LOL
