Name-O-Rama
COT / BOM: Each of us must submit to various people in life. Your boss, law enforcement, and the workout Q all give commands that the High Impact Man obeys in full submission. But each HIM also has to provide room in his life for a person he will submit to when the stakes are high—the Get Back Coach.
During Clemson’s 2014 season-opener against Georgia, a couple of game officials convened an impromptu meeting with Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney, wanting to talk to him about a pressing matter. The assistant strength and conditioning coach nicknamed “Smo” leaned in to listen.
“They were telling him that he needed to find a way to keep his defensive coordinator off the field,” [Adam] Smotherman told The All-American. “So, he turned around, scanned the sideline really quickly, and I happened to be standing there. He pointed to me and said, ‘Smo, you’re gonna keep him back. From now on, if we get a penalty it’s on you.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir.’”
The Get Back Coach takes responsibility for another Man’s well-being by yanking him back when that Man needs a good yanking. That Man may be focused on other things and not notice he is too close to a line that mustn’t be crossed, and he submits to his Get Back Coach when he gets yanked. To not submit would be to choose willingly to suffer negative consequences.
Who’s your Get Back Coach? Are you willing to grant someone the authority in your life to yank you back from dangerous consequences when you step out of line?
Moleskin: In the middle of a January heatwave, the FNGs came out to play. There were plenty of premium ingredients in this one: late arrival that prompted a second rendition of the Disclaimer, Merkin Mile, Shoulder Blaster, and a FNG who Splashed Merlot during Name-o-Rama.
