RogueAthleteTribe

This program is aimed at revealing the Champion that God put in each of us. We focus not only on our physical prowess as athletes but our mental and spiritual development as well. Rogue sometimes has a negative connotation. In our case, rogue means different, stand-alone...salt in that we are training and recognizing that becoming the best athlete we can be is just a small part of becoming the best person we can be. We are different in that we will focus on all aspects of human growth and performance rather than just the physical. We are focused on overall athleticism with a nod towards endurance running. You will develop, strength, stamina, endurance and speed. It is more than just a running club or a ruck club. Some of our strength workouts are crossfit style rather than just endurance running.This is not easy and definitely not for everyone. If, however you want to maximize human performance, consider becoming part of the RAT PAC.

How it works.
There is not much in terms of requirements.
1- A positive attitude and strong desire for self-improvement (no time for whining). Embrace the suck, it is the journey that brings us happiness.
2-A weight vest or ruck. It doesn't have to be fancy, although it's not ideal your school backpack with rocks, sandbags or books will work fine.
3-An email address to join the free apps final surge and remind.
Not required, but if you want to invest in this you can get a dedicated weight vest or ruck and a sandbag. See affiliate links.
4-Be a high school student or older.
5-Ages 18 and under have to have permission from parents.

Each month there is a theme. I will lay out a calendar for the year. You can participate in some or each of the months. Each month consists of;
1-Mind. Monthly and sometimes weekly thought leader emails from TO or any of the other coaching staff. It may include a book to read, a movie to watch, nutrition tips, or food for thought to work that big muscle between your ears.
2-Body. We have daily workouts that are given to you via Final Surge. Do the workouts, then upload to Final Surge and be able to verify via strava if called upon to do so. I will audit this periodically but will be going from the Final Surge uploads most of the time. We will have a "physical test" at the end of each month.
3-Spirit. The bulk of our resources come from FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes). We will start by going through the series Doing Sports God's Way. There is one each month and it will take us until the end of the year. We will also have snippets from Ron Brown's Team Workouts on Character.

Team Workouts include 16 character lessons: Boldness, Discipline, Discretion, Fear of the Lord, Honesty, Kindness, Peaceful, Prayerful, Prosperity, Purity, Renewal, Righteousness, Surrender, Understanding, Unstoppable, and Wisdom. Each lesson includes a Kingdom Sports Minutes by Coach Ron Brown.

RON BROWN is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Hall of Champions and a former Nebraska FCA Director. Ron is the Senior Offensive Analyst for the University of Nebraska football team. He spent 24 seasons as an assistant coach at Nebraska while they won three national championships.

Workouts are on Final Surge. If you are not on Final Surge, I will need to add you. Send the email you want to use to topimages@msn.com and I will email you an invite. From there, you will download the Finalsurge app (free to you) then follow the link in the invite and it will take you to our page. If you accept me as a coach, you will be able to see all of the workouts and record your mileage.
