00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.140
The mic is hot and the game is on. You're listening

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:16.059
to News for the Nation podcast by Aces Nation,

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.420
where we talk about nutrition, sports performance,

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:22.780
the journey of a student athlete, and more. I'm

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:27.539
Claire. I'm Zach. Time to level up. Welcome back

00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:30.980
sports fans. Today we are going over the documentary

00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:34.200
The Motivation Factor. I hope everyone gets a

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.520
chance to watch it after this episode. Claire

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.700
and I both enjoyed it very much and we're excited

00:00:40.700 --> 00:00:43.219
to just have a conversation about our thoughts

00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:48.039
on the documentary, kind of like what it meant

00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.659
to society back then or what society was like

00:00:50.659 --> 00:00:54.420
at that point and how How others in the documentary

00:00:54.420 --> 00:00:57.119
describe the changes that have gone on and maybe

00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:01.000
the art thoughts about them as well. So Claire,

00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.759
I liked it. I mean, I know you did too off air.

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.640
You said that you did. Well, tell me just off

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.579
the top of your head, one thing that stood out

00:01:11.579 --> 00:01:14.599
to you from the documentary, just anything that

00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.719
pops in your head that that kind of stood out.

00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:23.420
I think the main thing was. Not. knowing anything

00:01:23.420 --> 00:01:25.799
and going into it, I thought it was just going

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.939
to be about like PE class and how it was just

00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:33.680
required and they all participated. But I was

00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.400
really surprised and interested in the types

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.799
of exercises they were doing and the fact that

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:45.120
it was more like kinesthetic, plyometric, and

00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.780
maybe what we would consider more of like accessory

00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:51.769
work. based. So I thought that was cool and that

00:01:51.769 --> 00:01:56.370
was required in school and versus just going

00:01:56.370 --> 00:01:58.090
to gym class and saying, OK, today we're going

00:01:58.090 --> 00:01:59.769
to play football or today we're going to play

00:01:59.769 --> 00:02:04.689
soccer. They're really working their body from

00:02:04.689 --> 00:02:06.650
like a functional fitness perspective, which

00:02:06.650 --> 00:02:10.610
was very interesting. Yeah, yeah, I think the

00:02:10.610 --> 00:02:13.770
thing that stood out to me was like in most of

00:02:13.770 --> 00:02:16.229
the videos they were showing, those dudes were

00:02:16.229 --> 00:02:19.699
jacked. and like they were right that makes me

00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:21.800
think based on all the other episodes we had

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:26.280
or we've had is what was the nutrition like provided

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.060
at that high school you know what were they able

00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:31.740
to eat at that school and why was it why is it

00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:34.759
so much different now yeah or i would even think

00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.539
of like what were they eating at that time in

00:02:37.539 --> 00:02:40.240
the 60s i would argue that most of what they

00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.300
were eating was probably home -cooked meals agreed

00:02:43.300 --> 00:02:47.909
they were probably drinking a lot of milk And

00:02:47.909 --> 00:02:51.629
there wasn't a lot of fast food, super processed,

00:02:52.150 --> 00:02:55.469
super high sugar, fat foods. I think they had

00:02:55.469 --> 00:02:58.849
a pretty, a relatively nutrient dense diet and

00:02:58.849 --> 00:03:01.430
a lot of home coach meals. Yeah, I would agree

00:03:01.430 --> 00:03:03.810
with that. I think because the La Sierra High

00:03:03.810 --> 00:03:07.210
School, when it was still around, is located

00:03:07.210 --> 00:03:09.689
in Carmichael. If anyone doesn't know, I looked

00:03:09.689 --> 00:03:14.770
it up. It's near Sacramento. So up there, I would

00:03:14.770 --> 00:03:19.050
say by Probably surrounded by more farms than

00:03:19.050 --> 00:03:21.889
typical like Southern California area would be

00:03:21.889 --> 00:03:24.849
so Maybe they had to do with it too, but you're

00:03:24.849 --> 00:03:32.050
right definitely different Societal happenings

00:03:32.050 --> 00:03:34.590
I think life is a little slower. So yeah, you're

00:03:34.590 --> 00:03:37.810
right. But yeah, everyone in that video was Super

00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:40.909
fit and yeah, honestly for the most part the

00:03:40.909 --> 00:03:44.650
people who had gone through it They still looked

00:03:44.650 --> 00:03:50.460
fit Yeah, when they were interviewed. Yeah. And

00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:52.620
they still did all of the things that they did

00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:55.139
in high school. Every single, maybe not every

00:03:55.139 --> 00:03:56.879
single, but some of them said every single morning

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.240
they still go through that routine and it just

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.460
helped them wake up, feel energized, start their

00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:07.020
day off right. It's the stretching, the exercises

00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:08.819
and running and that's what they start their

00:04:08.819 --> 00:04:10.699
day off with. And I thought that was really cool

00:04:10.699 --> 00:04:14.879
that however many years later, Um, they're still

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.519
incorporating it into their life Yeah, I think

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.139
one thing that was kind of sad for me to realize

00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:25.180
at the beginning was that Uh, well, I actually

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:29.560
let me let me throw this out first I don't know

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.879
and maybe I missed this in the documentary because

00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.279
I was watching it and there were things going

00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:40.759
on around me at the time but uh Did coach laprati

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.389
start that before for the presidential fitness

00:04:44.389 --> 00:04:47.850
thing? Did you get that vibe? I don't think so.

00:04:48.189 --> 00:04:50.470
OK, anyways. All right. So let's let's just move

00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:52.370
forward with that. Right. Like I think it's sad

00:04:52.370 --> 00:04:57.389
that JFK did not get to experience the longevity

00:04:57.389 --> 00:05:00.930
of that. Right. And yeah, his life was cut short.

00:05:00.949 --> 00:05:04.550
And so he didn't get to see something impact

00:05:04.550 --> 00:05:07.750
so many people positively based on an initiative

00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:11.449
that he had. Yeah. And I think the country. Yeah.

00:05:11.829 --> 00:05:14.329
I think the documentary did mention that because

00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:17.850
of that, it was cut short in the sense of like

00:05:17.850 --> 00:05:23.310
it wasn't initiated afterwards by anybody else.

00:05:23.410 --> 00:05:26.149
And that's kind of sad to see too of like only

00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:31.149
one person is finding this important enough to

00:05:31.149 --> 00:05:33.990
encourage an initiative and try and get more

00:05:33.990 --> 00:05:37.269
kids involved in movement outside of sport, but

00:05:37.269 --> 00:05:40.040
also In the school day to where you're not sitting

00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.300
for six plus hours at a desk Yeah conspiracy

00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:47.480
theorists, you know look into that one for us,

00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:53.879
please Yeah, I thought that was just Fascinating

00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.019
and stuff. But alright, so there was that and

00:05:57.019 --> 00:06:01.519
then for I We we know you and I because we talked

00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.759
off air that the whole program set up by coach

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.930
the proddy at La Sierra which became like the

00:06:09.930 --> 00:06:14.009
flagship place that JFK adopted as like hey,

00:06:14.029 --> 00:06:18.370
this is the poster school for what the president's

00:06:18.370 --> 00:06:22.990
physical fitness needs to look like He was a

00:06:22.990 --> 00:06:27.449
former vet World War two. We looked it up Not

00:06:27.449 --> 00:06:30.790
not sure what branch I don't think we got that

00:06:30.790 --> 00:06:33.069
far as we got that information from where the

00:06:33.069 --> 00:06:36.730
source we got but anyway, so when I watched it

00:06:36.730 --> 00:06:39.120
I What it looked like to me was a bunch of military

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.139
formations, right and like and kids doing movements

00:06:43.139 --> 00:06:51.319
that I've Seen similar things happen from Army

00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.339
guidelines for physical fitness so it was it

00:06:55.339 --> 00:06:57.660
was interesting to see that and I know that he

00:06:57.660 --> 00:06:59.779
got most of his stuff from ancient Greeks and

00:06:59.779 --> 00:07:02.110
I know that throughout the documentary they were

00:07:02.110 --> 00:07:03.990
talking about all these different cultures from

00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:07.149
before that time that had implemented certain

00:07:07.149 --> 00:07:11.230
things. What was the country that they mentioned

00:07:11.230 --> 00:07:14.410
where they had like 1 ,400 people out on a field

00:07:14.410 --> 00:07:17.790
all doing synchronized movements at once? I don't

00:07:17.790 --> 00:07:24.189
remember. Czech? Was it Czechoslovakia? Might

00:07:24.189 --> 00:07:25.750
have been. Could have been. And it was an Eastern

00:07:25.750 --> 00:07:28.089
European country, I think. So for that time being.

00:07:28.389 --> 00:07:32.069
And it was before the 1900s, I believe, where

00:07:32.069 --> 00:07:34.430
this was made a spectacle by that country as

00:07:34.430 --> 00:07:38.470
well of being physically fit. So just interesting.

00:07:38.709 --> 00:07:40.889
But one thing that I noticed from the videos

00:07:40.889 --> 00:07:44.069
they were showing, almost all the videos, which

00:07:44.069 --> 00:07:46.610
I can only think of the exception of one, it

00:07:46.610 --> 00:07:50.790
was like the same footage being recycled. They

00:07:50.790 --> 00:07:55.170
were only showing us like the bend to toe touch

00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:59.930
and the arm opening, like the chest opener associated

00:07:59.930 --> 00:08:03.069
with that massive group of people doing jumping

00:08:03.069 --> 00:08:06.470
jacks. Yeah, I wonder if that's because most

00:08:06.470 --> 00:08:08.350
of the movements they did, they did the same

00:08:08.350 --> 00:08:10.589
thing every day. Like it was that was the program.

00:08:10.629 --> 00:08:13.449
They just repeated the same movements in order

00:08:13.449 --> 00:08:17.269
as essentially kind of like a warm up program.

00:08:17.850 --> 00:08:20.930
I think that. Yeah, I think that gym footage

00:08:20.930 --> 00:08:25.009
that we saw was their warm up. Yeah, I did remember

00:08:25.009 --> 00:08:29.129
them saying in the documentary the I don't know

00:08:29.129 --> 00:08:30.730
what they're called the little angle bars where

00:08:30.730 --> 00:08:32.970
they were like walking over it with their hands,

00:08:32.970 --> 00:08:37.149
you know, with their their legs dangling and

00:08:37.149 --> 00:08:39.370
their hands were like waist height, you know.

00:08:39.429 --> 00:08:43.070
Yeah, I did hear them say that that was mostly

00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:45.330
a finisher, something they did at the end of

00:08:45.330 --> 00:08:49.539
their workout. OK, the parallel bars. Yeah, yeah,

00:08:49.659 --> 00:08:51.500
even though they did go up and down and stuff.

00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.419
Yeah. Like that was something they did at the

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:57.419
end. That was mentioned in the documentary. You

00:08:57.419 --> 00:09:01.120
know what? Oh, go ahead. No, no, not you. I was

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.139
gonna say, you know what I found very interesting

00:09:04.139 --> 00:09:08.580
watching this is a lot of the things I've seen

00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:12.899
in CrossFit were reflected. in that documentary

00:09:12.899 --> 00:09:15.039
of like certain types of movements of when they

00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:20.039
were talking about push -ups of the test of as

00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.440
many push -ups as you can do was too easy because

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.179
they would be there counting to like a hundred

00:09:24.179 --> 00:09:26.940
hundred fifty plus push -ups at a time they had

00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:28.639
to make it harder so they started doing like

00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.379
handstand push -ups or you know other variations

00:09:31.379 --> 00:09:33.860
of push -ups that were more difficult to challenge

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:38.659
them more or the same thing with like the the

00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:42.009
parallel bars. Same thing like you see that those

00:09:42.009 --> 00:09:44.669
movements in CrossFit. And so it was just interesting

00:09:44.669 --> 00:09:50.909
to kind of see those similarities that in the

00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:55.029
CrossFit community, some of those movements are

00:09:55.029 --> 00:09:57.289
known to be very, very difficult. They were walking

00:09:57.289 --> 00:09:59.210
on their hands. So like things like that, that

00:09:59.210 --> 00:10:04.669
you see in certain fitness modalities now that

00:10:04.669 --> 00:10:07.809
were implemented then as well. I just thought

00:10:07.809 --> 00:10:10.210
that was interesting. Yeah, and they did say

00:10:10.210 --> 00:10:13.049
in the documentary about like one point they

00:10:13.049 --> 00:10:14.990
were like well push -ups became too easy for

00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:17.730
us So we started to do handstand push -ups because

00:10:17.730 --> 00:10:20.210
they were to make them a little bit harder So

00:10:20.210 --> 00:10:22.909
that that was one of the videos that was different

00:10:22.909 --> 00:10:25.990
than the other ones I remember that quite a bit,

00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:28.190
but let me pose this question to you and maybe

00:10:28.190 --> 00:10:30.429
you don't have to answer Maybe it's just rhetorical,

00:10:30.429 --> 00:10:32.750
but I just thought about this way you were mentioning

00:10:32.750 --> 00:10:36.929
push -ups you know things like The push up and

00:10:36.929 --> 00:10:43.149
like sit ups if you will um have I guess for

00:10:43.149 --> 00:10:46.990
I don't know since the world war two or maybe

00:10:46.990 --> 00:10:52.169
the world war one era been Pushed to america

00:10:52.169 --> 00:10:58.960
as like the measure of your physical fitness

00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.879
level, right? I mean, like some mile distance

00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.580
time is also added in there. Some pull -up test

00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:08.559
is in there. My question is, or my thought, I

00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.720
guess is, is that a measure that has stood the

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:17.019
test of time because it really does give us that?

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.720
Or is that just something we had and we haven't

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.159
revamped that? you know is that just something

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.299
that they they had technology or understanding

00:11:25.299 --> 00:11:28.059
of at the time and now we haven't revamped that

00:11:28.059 --> 00:11:31.080
so is it like actually showing us that are we

00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:34.860
keeping it because it's legit or are we keeping

00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:39.620
it because we don't know how to formulate the

00:11:39.620 --> 00:11:42.940
um like new physical Yeah, yeah, like the new

00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:46.559
benchmark or are we not changing it because the

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.159
people who are in positions of power aren't ready

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.279
to give up that stronghold, right? Like is it

00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.039
really, is it really real or is it cap, you know?

00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.700
Yeah. Yeah, that's an interesting question. I

00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:03.899
think it depends. Like I would say like as an

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:07.419
overall benchmark of strength and like fitness,

00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:13.379
I wouldn't peg those two movements as overall

00:12:13.379 --> 00:12:19.299
indicators of fitness. Especially too, I think

00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:22.000
if you're looking at it from a holistic view

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.360
because men are obviously going to be stronger

00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.860
in pushups than most women are unless you really,

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:33.179
really practice them a lot. But I mean, I still

00:12:33.179 --> 00:12:35.059
think that there's going to be a discrepancy

00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:36.500
there. So obviously, you have to account for

00:12:36.500 --> 00:12:40.289
that. Yeah, I think it's different if you're

00:12:40.289 --> 00:12:42.350
saying, like, this is a benchmark for push -ups

00:12:42.350 --> 00:12:44.970
if we're testing push -ups. That's one thing

00:12:44.970 --> 00:12:47.250
to say. Like, if you're fit in this movement

00:12:47.250 --> 00:12:49.809
of push -ups, this is how many we expect you

00:12:49.809 --> 00:12:52.149
to get, versus saying, if you can do this many

00:12:52.149 --> 00:12:54.529
push -ups and sit -ups, you are a fit person.

00:12:54.950 --> 00:12:58.610
I don't know that. I would argue that that doesn't

00:12:58.610 --> 00:13:01.590
really correlate to mean that you're overall

00:13:01.590 --> 00:13:05.470
a fit person. Yeah, it was just something I wanted

00:13:05.470 --> 00:13:10.000
to throw out there as a thought. Ace's Nation

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.320
is a team of former college athletes and coaches

00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.399
on a mission to improve the sports culture experience

00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.639
and change today's expectations. We do this by

00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.039
helping every player maximize their athletic

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.679
potential with professional programs to improve

00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:27.039
strength, speed, nutrition, and mental toughness,

00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:29.620
and by using sports to create a direct pathway

00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:32.340
to college with a guaranteed college scholarship

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:35.809
program for all student athletes. Visit acesnation

00:13:35.809 --> 00:13:38.769
.org to learn more and schedule a demo. Let's

00:13:38.769 --> 00:13:45.149
go! What are your thoughts on the shorts color

00:13:45.149 --> 00:13:54.529
system? I mean, I guess for the voice, it makes

00:13:54.529 --> 00:13:58.899
sense because They didn't have shirts on so they

00:13:58.899 --> 00:14:01.639
couldn't have colored shirts. So makes sense

00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.940
I would say that it probably I mean you you might

00:14:04.940 --> 00:14:07.039
not necessarily have needed the shorts and obviously

00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.940
for people listening they essentially broke up

00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:13.700
the students into different groups based on like

00:14:13.700 --> 00:14:16.120
ability level or fitness level, I guess you could

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.259
say and Depending on which level they were and

00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:23.340
they were given a certain color shorts I think

00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:27.509
it Makes sense. I think either way you probably

00:14:27.509 --> 00:14:30.230
would have had to split them up because of ability

00:14:30.230 --> 00:14:35.490
level and I do think it provides some sense of

00:14:35.490 --> 00:14:40.789
goal setting and some sense of Shooting for like

00:14:40.789 --> 00:14:45.679
that next short color or that next, you know,

00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:48.139
grouping to be in, you want to work harder. So

00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:50.419
you want to be with the blue shorts. You want

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:52.179
to be with the gold shorts because that means

00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:54.720
that you improved from the last time versus just

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.100
staying where you are. So if you're a senior,

00:14:57.100 --> 00:14:58.960
you don't want to be in the white shorts because

00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.580
that means you made zero improvements from the

00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:05.039
time you were a freshman to a senior. And that

00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:10.179
sucks. So I mean, as somebody, obviously the

00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:13.340
two of us were athletes. growing up. So I think

00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:17.159
as somebody who is naturally more competitive,

00:15:17.580 --> 00:15:20.840
I like the idea of like knowing who I'm chasing

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:25.480
and what I'm reaching for. Yeah, I agree. I think

00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.240
if we were both in there, we definitely want

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.879
to be the highest level that we could be right

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:33.240
and keep working hard. One of the cool things,

00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.500
I think, from the study and from the the part

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:40.419
about the colored shorts was the segment in the

00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:43.879
documentary where a former participant in the

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.039
group ran some, it was a thesis, right? Or some

00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.740
paper about the self -confidence level of people

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:54.980
in the white short group, which would be the

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:57.740
lowest one. And they found that they were just

00:15:57.740 --> 00:16:00.639
as confident as people who were in the gold group.

00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.350
So it's not like they had low self -esteem. because

00:16:04.350 --> 00:16:06.549
they were at the lowest level. I mean, they were

00:16:06.549 --> 00:16:09.649
still a part of the community, still working

00:16:09.649 --> 00:16:11.789
hard. And so they saw improvements in themselves

00:16:11.789 --> 00:16:16.610
and whatnot and kept their sense of self -confidence

00:16:16.610 --> 00:16:19.929
at a good level. So I think that was a good thing.

00:16:20.409 --> 00:16:24.409
I also think it was appropriate to separate people

00:16:24.409 --> 00:16:27.990
by physical ability level, not just by their

00:16:27.990 --> 00:16:31.110
grade. So that was pretty cool. Yeah, I think

00:16:31.110 --> 00:16:33.870
that was great and I liked the study or the thesis

00:16:33.870 --> 00:16:36.730
because like they mentioned, you would think

00:16:36.730 --> 00:16:39.370
that by doing that and categorizing people differently,

00:16:39.570 --> 00:16:42.570
that lower level or those people that have a

00:16:42.570 --> 00:16:46.110
long way to go and a lot to work towards to improve,

00:16:47.090 --> 00:16:50.470
they would have really low self -esteem and low

00:16:50.470 --> 00:16:53.009
self -confidence and that wasn't the case. I

00:16:53.009 --> 00:16:55.950
would argue that now it's a lot bigger issue

00:16:55.950 --> 00:16:59.570
because we don't have as many programs like that.

00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.319
Yeah, something they talked about in the documentary

00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.059
was like the discrepancy between then and now,

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:13.180
and just a huge, maybe not even that huge, like

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:16.700
it's just another sign, like we need to be more

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:21.180
physically active as a nation because the fact

00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:24.319
that PE is like, the participation of PE is like

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.900
optional or something, you know, these days.

00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.220
Or even PE is optional. It's an extracurricular.

00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.140
It's not part of the curriculum. Right, right.

00:17:33.700 --> 00:17:37.690
I mean, like I understand the fact that You might

00:17:37.690 --> 00:17:39.809
take a sports class, like if you're a basketball

00:17:39.809 --> 00:17:42.069
player, you take basketball so you can get extra

00:17:42.069 --> 00:17:44.250
practice time and finesse the system. That's

00:17:44.250 --> 00:17:47.049
great. But for the general population, like a

00:17:47.049 --> 00:17:49.829
program like this should be instituted. I think

00:17:49.829 --> 00:17:55.569
it's crazy that they had statistics about. I'm

00:17:55.569 --> 00:17:57.809
going to use the word delinquency, but like people

00:17:57.809 --> 00:18:02.220
acting out, you know, or like. acting out in

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:05.619
school or acting out in the community or in society.

00:18:06.099 --> 00:18:10.359
Like those numbers were reduced and they saw

00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.779
kids were like more focused or energetic, you

00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:15.740
know, or ready to learn. The fact that they had

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:18.640
like percentage statistics on that was just incredible

00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.740
to me. Like, like who, where are you like, who,

00:18:22.220 --> 00:18:23.799
who did you get this from? And that's still,

00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:26.960
that's still pretty cool that. you know physical

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.259
activity obviously you and I know it's great

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:32.980
for mental health so that you can you know really

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:34.880
kind of boost that learning in the classroom

00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.579
it's just another indication of why are we not

00:18:37.579 --> 00:18:39.720
doing it and they said something like this in

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:42.759
the documentary where it was like we know it

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.420
but we're just not implementing it right but

00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:48.819
why yeah but why right like everyone knows that

00:18:48.819 --> 00:18:50.700
you should be physically active we're getting

00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:52.920
more activity to stay healthy but yeah we're

00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.440
not doing that they made a good reference to

00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.279
or they just made a good point of, you know,

00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:00.759
if somebody struggling in math class, for example,

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:05.440
instead of incorporating something else like

00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:09.279
physical fitness or some sort of, you know, going

00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:14.160
outside or something else that has been shown

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:20.380
to help with attention, energy. your ability

00:19:20.380 --> 00:19:23.640
to just like remember things or cognition. So

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.660
things that can like really maybe help from a

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:29.380
learning standpoint, physical activity. They

00:19:29.380 --> 00:19:33.750
put you in more math. Right. While maybe that

00:19:33.750 --> 00:19:35.509
might be helpful or maybe it would be helpful

00:19:35.509 --> 00:19:37.950
to have a little bit of one -on -one tutoring

00:19:37.950 --> 00:19:41.869
or going to some office hours, if you're already

00:19:41.869 --> 00:19:43.670
struggling with it in the first place, adding

00:19:43.670 --> 00:19:45.349
more and more and more is probably going to make

00:19:45.349 --> 00:19:47.789
you more stressed, make you less confident, make

00:19:47.789 --> 00:19:51.210
you feel worse about yourself, feel more frustrated,

00:19:51.589 --> 00:19:53.869
and you're sitting for longer, then you're going

00:19:53.869 --> 00:19:57.730
to have less time to go outside. It just all

00:19:57.730 --> 00:20:00.500
in all is like, It's kind of backwards. I mean,

00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:02.599
it makes sense to maybe have a little bit more

00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:07.400
math time, but why are we not incorporating something

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.619
that has been shown to be very beneficial from

00:20:10.619 --> 00:20:13.759
a holistic point of view when maybe we know those

00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:17.319
kids don't get it at home? Agreed. Another point

00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:19.599
they made, which is along the same lines, it's

00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.039
like, we all know that math and science is important,

00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.680
right? For careers and learn. It's a part of

00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:28.579
learning that's important. Well, we all know

00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:30.819
physical health is important, you know, but yet

00:20:30.819 --> 00:20:33.220
we cut that out. No one's out there cutting math

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:37.259
classes because, you know, we think it's important,

00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:39.819
but not that important, you know. So the fact

00:20:39.819 --> 00:20:43.220
that they're cutting physical, I mean, physical

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:46.940
education, sure. But I mean, really, it's like

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:52.079
it's like well -being enforcement or like enrichment

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:55.660
or something. You know, it's it's not just going

00:20:55.660 --> 00:21:01.690
out and playing dodgeball or like rolling on

00:21:01.690 --> 00:21:04.369
scooters or, you know, flapping the big parachute,

00:21:04.730 --> 00:21:08.369
which was all fun back in my day, you know, but

00:21:08.369 --> 00:21:12.609
but I think something structured, something that's

00:21:12.609 --> 00:21:15.849
like gets people involved and can be made into

00:21:15.849 --> 00:21:19.609
a fun thing or that's challenging. Yeah, it's

00:21:19.609 --> 00:21:23.849
it's crucial, crucial to the longevity of the

00:21:23.849 --> 00:21:26.619
people that, you know, are in our society. Yeah.

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:28.819
And that's important too. Like you said, like

00:21:28.819 --> 00:21:30.819
math and science are important to your careers.

00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:36.000
But I mean, the physical education or like the

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.039
gym class, I guess you could say, or the movement

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:40.559
class is important to your health. And if you're

00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:44.160
not healthy, it doesn't really matter because

00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.019
maybe you won't be able to go to school because

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:49.799
you're sick all the time. Or maybe you... you

00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:51.759
know, there's other things that could negatively

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.859
impact your life that won't, that will maybe

00:21:54.859 --> 00:21:57.339
not make math and science even important anymore

00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:59.539
in that regard. You know what I'm saying? So

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:01.559
like we need to kind of look at it from more

00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.420
of like a foundational perspective. And if we

00:22:03.420 --> 00:22:05.680
don't have that foundation of health with movement

00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:09.559
being a large piece of that, then the other stuff

00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:11.380
in school isn't really going to matter either

00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:14.190
because if you can't take care of yourself, and

00:22:14.190 --> 00:22:16.230
you can't hold down a job or you can't get a

00:22:16.230 --> 00:22:18.490
job or you can't make it to your job or whatever

00:22:18.490 --> 00:22:22.529
the case might be, then what was the point of

00:22:22.529 --> 00:22:25.690
those? Yeah, can't have a job if you're dead.

00:22:26.970 --> 00:22:30.589
Take care of yourself. Come on. That was aggressive.

00:22:33.150 --> 00:22:36.069
But seriously, you know, people need to take

00:22:36.069 --> 00:22:37.609
care of themselves physically. And that's like

00:22:37.609 --> 00:22:39.269
just something that gets thrown to the side,

00:22:39.349 --> 00:22:43.089
right? Think they mentioned something about mental

00:22:43.089 --> 00:22:46.690
health as well. Some people kept saying it Like

00:22:46.690 --> 00:22:49.529
it was not a quote from somebody at the time

00:22:49.529 --> 00:22:51.369
of the interview, which would have been afterwards

00:22:51.369 --> 00:22:55.349
It was somebody during that time maybe even JFK

00:22:55.349 --> 00:22:57.269
It may have been a quote from JFK was talking

00:22:57.269 --> 00:23:00.109
about the mental health of the nation being driven

00:23:00.109 --> 00:23:03.410
by the physical health Yeah, and that was important.

00:23:03.569 --> 00:23:05.990
Yeah real real quickly you want to interject

00:23:06.299 --> 00:23:08.960
The title, I think, of his article in Sports

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.319
Illustrated, JFK's, I believe it was titled Soft

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:16.720
American. I think it was. Yeah. That's so funny.

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:20.259
He had to tell it like it was. Yeah, that was

00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:22.579
a term that people understood back then. Right.

00:23:22.940 --> 00:23:26.900
Yes. That was that would definitely I don't want

00:23:26.900 --> 00:23:28.759
to say trigger, but that would definitely like

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.180
catch people's attention, I think, at that point.

00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:35.579
Right. Yeah. I mean, I think it. kind of alludes

00:23:35.579 --> 00:23:38.220
to like, like we said, of that program being

00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:41.220
more structured and having the discipline to

00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:43.619
execute it. And I think you can tell that those

00:23:43.619 --> 00:23:47.160
individuals developed discipline because they

00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:51.259
continue to do it for 60 plus years after that.

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:53.740
That's, I mean, that's pretty disciplined if

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:57.420
you ask me. So, I mean, I think that, I mean,

00:23:57.579 --> 00:24:01.210
going off the title of the article, I think maybe

00:24:01.210 --> 00:24:03.930
that needed to be a little bit more of a reality

00:24:03.930 --> 00:24:07.029
check of we need to be a little bit more disciplined

00:24:07.029 --> 00:24:11.690
in this area of health and wellbeing because

00:24:11.690 --> 00:24:15.369
if we're not adding it in a structured way, we

00:24:15.369 --> 00:24:19.009
know people aren't going to do it. Right. Yeah.

00:24:19.569 --> 00:24:21.809
I definitely like the way they had everything

00:24:21.809 --> 00:24:26.089
set up from the program in itself. I mean, it

00:24:26.089 --> 00:24:29.789
was structured as we could see. I'm sure I can

00:24:29.789 --> 00:24:31.589
find this information out there haven't looked

00:24:31.589 --> 00:24:37.150
to be fair, but I want to know The workout like

00:24:37.150 --> 00:24:41.170
how was it structured in general, right? Yeah,

00:24:41.930 --> 00:24:46.430
what does a warm -up consist of what? Like what

00:24:46.430 --> 00:24:48.569
was their periodization for everything I saw

00:24:48.569 --> 00:24:50.869
like some days they would run, you know, like

00:24:50.869 --> 00:24:54.509
miles I saw like this little agility shuttle

00:24:54.509 --> 00:24:56.529
they have with the hurdles I thought somebody

00:24:56.529 --> 00:24:58.329
was gonna jump over the hurdles at one point,

00:24:58.329 --> 00:25:04.190
but no one did And then oh sweet Is it a PDF?

00:25:05.690 --> 00:25:09.390
No, okay. And then another thing is I was wondering

00:25:09.390 --> 00:25:11.269
towards like the middle of it I was like man,

00:25:11.269 --> 00:25:14.650
they just spend a lot of time doing like um aerobic

00:25:14.650 --> 00:25:16.910
work like running miles and stuff but then i

00:25:16.910 --> 00:25:19.529
saw like court shuttles or like court sprints

00:25:19.529 --> 00:25:21.809
or something like that which i thought was cool

00:25:21.809 --> 00:25:28.109
um i found the standards um what we got yeah

00:25:28.109 --> 00:25:30.789
it didn't i mean it looks like they did a lot

00:25:30.789 --> 00:25:32.690
of different things i think we were correct with

00:25:32.690 --> 00:25:36.029
their warm -up was like more the cal uh calisthenics

00:25:36.029 --> 00:25:39.430
and i think they always ran every single day

00:25:39.430 --> 00:25:42.170
at least a mile but then some days they would

00:25:42.349 --> 00:25:44.789
Also do like the shuttle runs or like the hurdle

00:25:44.789 --> 00:25:49.190
runs or more of the like. Different type of short

00:25:49.190 --> 00:25:56.170
sprints. OK, so the. We were also incorrect in

00:25:56.170 --> 00:25:58.529
the beginning. There is no gold. It was blue

00:25:58.529 --> 00:26:05.849
and navy blue was the top OK, but no, definitely

00:26:05.849 --> 00:26:09.450
in the documentary they are wearing gold shorts

00:26:09.450 --> 00:26:14.170
or yellow. Oh, OK, there were two substandards

00:26:14.170 --> 00:26:16.970
within the blue level and they were categorized

00:26:16.970 --> 00:26:20.509
with purple and gold. Wow, go Lakers. As for

00:26:20.509 --> 00:26:22.769
the Navy blue trunks, you had to have earned

00:26:22.769 --> 00:26:26.150
your gold trunks first, so Navy blue was above

00:26:26.150 --> 00:26:31.650
gold. That makes sense. That makes me feel like.

00:26:31.829 --> 00:26:35.930
Coach Leproty was in the Navy. Yeah, that makes

00:26:35.930 --> 00:26:39.119
sense. That just makes me think that he was because

00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.539
he made that the gold standard and there's a

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:45.160
lot of blue and gold Mm -hmm. Yeah, it's also

00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.200
red and white. So maybe it's just America But

00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.420
the Navy blue the ultimate athlete standards

00:26:51.420 --> 00:26:58.799
Pull -ups 34 got it our dips 52 Okay handstand

00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:02.960
push -ups 50 Wow alternating one -armed burpees

00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.890
for 30 seconds 26 I saw those in the you saw

00:27:06.890 --> 00:27:10.109
those in the video. Yeah, crazy. 300 yard shuttle

00:27:10.109 --> 00:27:14.349
run. Forty seven point five seconds. Forty seven,

00:27:14.450 --> 00:27:17.269
you said. Mm hmm. Wow. I'm just impressed that

00:27:17.269 --> 00:27:19.930
they included that in there. Yeah, that's awesome.

00:27:20.029 --> 00:27:26.630
Let's go. Rope climb 20 feet. Hands only sitting

00:27:26.630 --> 00:27:31.109
start two trips. Well, 20 feet up and down two

00:27:31.109 --> 00:27:35.180
times. Let's go. Agility run 17 seconds. Extension

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:39.480
press ups. You saw those, right? Yes, yes, hard.

00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:42.619
Yeah, that that older gentleman could still do

00:27:42.619 --> 00:27:46.900
one. Yeah, yeah, just one. Yeah, to 8 inches

00:27:46.900 --> 00:27:52.859
100. What was that? It's to 8 like it has to

00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:55.519
be 8 inches above the ground. Got it, got it.

00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.960
Pegboard vertical five trips. Yep, handstand

00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:07.140
45 seconds. Man lift and carry five miles. I

00:28:07.140 --> 00:28:10.019
think they said that person had to be 10 pounds

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:12.839
heavier than you Yeah, or like 10 pounds within

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:19.180
your yeah. Yeah, wait, okay mile run 515 Mm -hmm

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:21.559
five mile jog finish. So you had to be able to

00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:24.099
run five miles. I guess complete the opposite

00:28:24.099 --> 00:28:28.720
obstacle course Swim one mile swim underwater

00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:32.380
50 yards Swim any combination of strokes two

00:28:32.380 --> 00:28:35.460
miles. Execute front hanging float with arms

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:39.660
and ankles tied. Six minutes. Stay afloat in

00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:42.759
deep water in vertical position. Use of arms

00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:47.059
and legs permitted within eight feet circles.

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:53.279
Two hours. I don't know what that means. But

00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:57.240
basically, there were only 21 students between

00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:05.319
1958 And 1983, who achieved Navy blue trunks.

00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.200
Yeah, yeah. And I believe there's only one woman

00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:12.400
who ever did that. Yes. And those standards were

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.299
different. Yeah. But still, I'm sure they were.

00:29:15.299 --> 00:29:17.640
They were hard. They were rigorous, like the

00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:20.759
ones you just read. Yeah. So 17 things that they

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:25.009
had to accomplish. And they mentioned if you

00:29:25.009 --> 00:29:28.910
did XML in a year prior, you had to start all

00:29:28.910 --> 00:29:30.789
over again if you didn't complete all of them.

00:29:30.809 --> 00:29:33.430
So if you did 16, but you didn't get the last

00:29:33.430 --> 00:29:37.069
one, you started zero the next year. No, that's

00:29:37.069 --> 00:29:40.450
nuts. That's crazy. Yeah. Honestly, it kind of

00:29:40.450 --> 00:29:43.630
sounds like something Navy SEALs would be subjected

00:29:43.630 --> 00:29:46.509
to. Yeah. All the water stuff is definitely what

00:29:46.509 --> 00:29:49.670
it sounds like. Yeah. But yeah, very hard. But

00:29:49.670 --> 00:29:51.769
that's why I say a lot of those things, I'm like,

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.380
Wow, that really reminds me of CrossFit because

00:29:54.380 --> 00:29:57.039
like the burpees, the handstand push -ups, pull

00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:01.160
-ups, push -ups, obstacle courses, carrying odd

00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:05.740
objects, just doing like strange things that

00:30:05.740 --> 00:30:08.259
you wouldn't necessarily train for if you just

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:11.339
wanted to be strong or look a certain way. They

00:30:11.339 --> 00:30:16.359
were obviously trained and training just to be

00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:21.480
able to be fit humans and It sounds like honestly

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:24.160
to maybe just like survivability, you know, if

00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:26.240
you have if one of the a couple of the tests

00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.859
are to hold your breath or to, you know, stand

00:30:29.859 --> 00:30:33.200
or water for a certain amount of time, that's

00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:36.039
like survival skills versus let's learn how to

00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:40.839
be strong and fit. Yeah, to be fair, CrossFit

00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.519
was started by ex -military people. Probably.

00:30:44.890 --> 00:30:47.690
Yeah, I think so. But it's definitely a lot of

00:30:47.690 --> 00:30:51.269
like military vibes and feels for. Yeah. And

00:30:51.269 --> 00:30:55.190
this obviously the other one because of who created

00:30:55.190 --> 00:30:59.710
it. But to me, it just reminds me of like sign

00:30:59.710 --> 00:31:02.349
of the times back in those days, right, where

00:31:02.349 --> 00:31:09.130
they were, gosh, 20 years off of World War Two.

00:31:09.780 --> 00:31:13.059
and in the Cold War, and everyone was probably

00:31:13.059 --> 00:31:15.420
like, hey, we need to make sure that we stay

00:31:15.420 --> 00:31:19.880
fit, keeping soldiers fit, because I think ground

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:23.500
warfare was still the main warfare, which actually,

00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:25.960
to be honest, I think it still is the main warfare.

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:30.440
But just making sure that people were up to the

00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:34.680
standard that had won them, you know, previous

00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:37.900
wars. So I think that's a lot of the motivation.

00:31:38.109 --> 00:31:41.869
behind some of those things that they did because

00:31:41.869 --> 00:31:44.950
Coach Leprady may have done them when he was

00:31:44.950 --> 00:31:48.970
in what we assume was the Navy SEALs. We don't

00:31:48.970 --> 00:31:52.529
know. It's just based on the information we have,

00:31:52.589 --> 00:31:55.509
we're just drawing that conclusion. So, yeah,

00:31:55.509 --> 00:31:59.589
I think there's so many interesting military

00:31:59.589 --> 00:32:01.730
ties to like what we're talking about with these

00:32:01.730 --> 00:32:04.890
fitness standards. And just to be generally.

00:32:05.729 --> 00:32:08.529
Nothing specific right and not a ton of stuff,

00:32:08.529 --> 00:32:13.049
you know over body weight Which I don't think

00:32:13.049 --> 00:32:14.609
anything you mentioned was over body weight,

00:32:14.650 --> 00:32:18.230
right? Which is kind of the the mindset of training

00:32:18.230 --> 00:32:24.509
and just to be off of the ancient Greek Philosophy

00:32:24.509 --> 00:32:26.930
of the whole human. I think that's what it was

00:32:26.930 --> 00:32:30.650
the whole human thing just to be you know, well

00:32:30.650 --> 00:32:33.289
-rounded, able to do a lot of different things.

00:32:33.509 --> 00:32:39.210
And I guess that explains like being fit. Yeah.

00:32:39.809 --> 00:32:42.349
I think the only thing that would be over body

00:32:42.349 --> 00:32:46.130
weight is the five mile carry, but everything

00:32:46.130 --> 00:32:49.710
else, your body weight and someone else's. Right.

00:32:49.710 --> 00:32:53.009
But even that just, just reads rock march to

00:32:53.009 --> 00:32:56.970
me, you know? Yes. So. Yeah. Yeah. Very interesting.

00:32:57.069 --> 00:33:04.380
But I think all in all, One thing to take away

00:33:04.380 --> 00:33:07.759
from that is just the importance of physical

00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.279
activity and not just sports. Like yes, sports

00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:13.359
are important, but you know, training these other

00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:17.740
areas of just like overall fitness, plyometrics.

00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:24.000
They did a lot or the more recent programs. I

00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:28.940
think it was in Prescott. Elementary slash middle

00:33:28.940 --> 00:33:30.740
school. It was not high school. It was younger

00:33:30.740 --> 00:33:35.220
but of like teaching kids how to like jump and

00:33:35.220 --> 00:33:39.059
land and these calisthenics and having just like

00:33:39.059 --> 00:33:44.359
an organized physical activity center throughout

00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:47.259
the day so that kids aren't sitting all day and

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:49.380
obviously they did mention to it it obviously

00:33:49.380 --> 00:33:51.119
depends on the coaches and the teachers that

00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:54.640
you have it's not not any any gym coach or any

00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:57.819
gym teacher or coach off the street could run

00:33:57.819 --> 00:34:00.240
a program like that successfully but i think

00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:04.160
it's important to maybe you know. invest time

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:08.199
in that and invest in incorporating these programs

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:10.739
into school and then invest in either like training

00:34:10.739 --> 00:34:15.119
or finding teachers and coaches that are passionate

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.920
about it and want to implement it and they want

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.300
and want it to succeed and will execute it in

00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:25.639
the way that is going to help these kids learn

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.500
how to love to be healthy again. Agreed. I think

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:32.460
that's one of the main things is just to love

00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:35.780
being healthy and like enjoying your life also

00:34:35.780 --> 00:34:40.199
the fact of You're gonna gain community from

00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:43.420
that and that's important to incorporate a lot

00:34:43.420 --> 00:34:45.420
of different people from various backgrounds

00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:51.199
into Just a community that's about Being physically

00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.559
fit or being healthy. Let's just say being healthy.

00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:55.300
It's not about anything else, right? It's not

00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:59.010
about like In essence, it's not about beating

00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:02.769
you. It's not about like, you know, winning against

00:35:02.769 --> 00:35:05.869
another thing. It's just about you yourself being

00:35:05.869 --> 00:35:09.329
healthy around other people who are also trying

00:35:09.329 --> 00:35:11.750
to be healthy. Right. And so having some self

00:35:11.750 --> 00:35:14.610
-confidence and then having building some like

00:35:14.610 --> 00:35:18.650
social community and skills in the process. So

00:35:18.650 --> 00:35:21.949
I liked it. I thought it was a good documentary.

00:35:22.110 --> 00:35:24.809
I definitely think people should, you know, Go

00:35:24.809 --> 00:35:26.969
watch it. Give it a listen. See, see the things

00:35:26.969 --> 00:35:32.630
that everyone was doing back then. Yeah. I also

00:35:32.630 --> 00:35:35.289
think that it was great that they finally opened

00:35:35.289 --> 00:35:39.989
it up to the girls. Yes. You know, I'm, I'm,

00:35:39.989 --> 00:35:43.250
I'm sure their focus was to start in one area,

00:35:43.409 --> 00:35:45.349
which, you know, back then I don't think it was

00:35:45.349 --> 00:35:49.110
as inclusive as things are now, but I think it

00:35:49.110 --> 00:35:52.619
was great. I also wonder because they they did

00:35:52.619 --> 00:35:55.219
say like it wasn't that girls didn't have access

00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:57.739
to gym class but it was it was different in that

00:35:57.739 --> 00:36:00.719
theirs was more sports based but I do wonder

00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.300
if that like military component comes in of like

00:36:03.300 --> 00:36:05.860
that training had more of the purpose of like

00:36:05.860 --> 00:36:08.559
if there's another war and we these kids get

00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.780
drafted then we want to make sure that they're

00:36:11.780 --> 00:36:17.420
prepared to stay alive whereas at that time women

00:36:17.420 --> 00:36:19.400
didn't need to worry about that. So I wonder

00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:22.099
if that played a role in that as well. Yeah,

00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.599
I think it could have, you know, but man, I was

00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:26.579
I really hope that they would think about the

00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:28.900
last time that happened and women had to go had

00:36:28.900 --> 00:36:33.699
to go do like these manual labor jobs. Right.

00:36:33.860 --> 00:36:36.599
And then that should just be a thing that we

00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:39.360
open up to everybody. Right. Because if it happens

00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.199
for the men who get drafted, well, you're going

00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.010
to have the same situation where the the women

00:36:45.010 --> 00:36:48.610
who didn't get drafted are going to have to do

00:36:48.610 --> 00:36:52.150
all of the normal, you know, operations, you

00:36:52.150 --> 00:36:54.630
know, that happened. So yeah, but yeah, you're

00:36:54.630 --> 00:36:57.809
right. They did have that model for girls at

00:36:57.809 --> 00:37:00.429
the time that was like play sports to get fit,

00:37:00.670 --> 00:37:03.550
not get fit and then play sports. Right. Which

00:37:03.550 --> 00:37:06.070
they talked they talked about was not the focus

00:37:06.070 --> 00:37:09.489
of the boys in that program, which I think that's

00:37:09.489 --> 00:37:13.230
great, too, because We see that model a lot with

00:37:13.230 --> 00:37:15.530
youth sports as well, where kids are just playing

00:37:15.530 --> 00:37:18.610
sports, overuse, injuries happen, right? And

00:37:18.610 --> 00:37:21.869
they're not just, they're not well -rounded with

00:37:21.869 --> 00:37:24.889
their training. So yeah. Yeah. So a good lesson

00:37:24.889 --> 00:37:30.230
of, of like holistically, yes, sports are important,

00:37:30.409 --> 00:37:33.809
but just holistic movement of, you know, being

00:37:33.809 --> 00:37:38.570
fast, being strong, being agile, being powerful,

00:37:39.070 --> 00:37:42.989
having all of those, being able to change direction

00:37:42.989 --> 00:37:45.550
quickly and efficiently, all those things that

00:37:45.550 --> 00:37:49.269
you, Dak, talk about a lot are important. And

00:37:49.269 --> 00:37:51.349
it's not only important for kids that play sports,

00:37:51.429 --> 00:37:55.929
but it's important for everybody just to be healthy,

00:37:56.210 --> 00:38:00.780
avoid injury. or longevity. And then also just

00:38:00.780 --> 00:38:03.800
looking at the other positive benefits of doing

00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:05.719
better in school, having more energy, having

00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:09.480
more focus, maybe just having like a more positive

00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:12.579
and a better outlook on life. So that correlates

00:38:12.579 --> 00:38:17.000
to like less trouble or getting into getting

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.019
into less trouble or just being a better human.

00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.800
So a lot of positives coming out of that and

00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:26.250
just was very interesting. So I think that Hopefully

00:38:26.250 --> 00:38:28.769
more people watch it and hopefully that becomes

00:38:28.769 --> 00:38:31.510
more of a priority for schools in the near future.

00:38:32.250 --> 00:38:35.409
Yeah, movement is medicine people, not just from

00:38:35.409 --> 00:38:38.469
a like joints and muscles perspective, but also

00:38:38.469 --> 00:38:40.570
for your mental health. So make sure you're moving,

00:38:40.769 --> 00:38:42.570
you know, move as much as you can, even if it's

00:38:42.570 --> 00:38:45.050
just 15 minutes a day, you know, just get out

00:38:45.050 --> 00:38:47.150
and move, go take a walk outside somewhere, you

00:38:47.150 --> 00:38:49.090
know, stop being inside and sitting the whole

00:38:49.090 --> 00:38:52.469
time. One thing I think was ironic is I sat during

00:38:52.469 --> 00:38:55.670
that entire documentary and I felt so bad about

00:38:55.670 --> 00:38:58.269
it. Just at the halfway point, I was like, this

00:38:58.269 --> 00:39:01.969
is not good. This is not what they want. But

00:39:01.969 --> 00:39:03.710
definitely everyone go check out the documentary.

00:39:03.869 --> 00:39:07.090
It was great. The motivation factor. You can

00:39:07.090 --> 00:39:11.150
find it on YouTube. Amazon Prime is where I watched

00:39:11.150 --> 00:39:16.849
it. Apple TV. Yeah. Rent it for $2 .99 in standard

00:39:16.849 --> 00:39:22.030
definition like I did. Yeah, so that was awesome.

00:39:22.030 --> 00:39:23.730
I hope you guys go check it out. Also, don't
