"It's not the most powerful animal that survives.
It's the most efficient" - GSP
Increased work capacity is the holy grail of performance improvement.
"To every man, there comes in his lifetime that special moment when he is tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique and fitted to his talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared and unqualified for the work that would be his finest hour." - Sir Winston Churchill
"Firefighters exemplify the essence of what we consider an ‘athlete. Their professional requirements necessitate the highest level of sustainable physical and mental performance in the most demanding situations, putting their life on the line everyday to help others. The mission is far greater than winning a game, or how fast they run." - Mark Verstegen

" It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” | |

“Men don’t fall on titles, they fall
on courage.” No one cares about
your title; they care about the
person behind the title. Your
integrity, leadership, experience,
professionalism, courage,
knowledge, and passion for the
job are what the crew wants to
see, not someone pointing to
their trumpets saying “look at
me!” Check the ego at the door
and LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

Workouts will be dedicated to those who have lost their lives serving others.
" Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We
do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence,
but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." -Aristotle
