Prize table fun
I had a surprise waiting for me when I got to the Michigan meet. It turns out that Ken photoshopped a blue mullet on a picture of me and this was framed and sitting on the prize table. I was shocked and dismayed to find that no one chose it as a prize. I can't really explain it. Maybe folks were afraid to take it home given its value and the high crime rate in Flint. Maybe if it were released into the wild it would spark a huge bidding war that would topple global economies. After all this is a rare pic of me with hair, even if it is not really my own hair. What would you rather have, a copy of the Mahler-Cotter-Morrison-Maxwell "Boys are back in town" DVD or a pic of me with a mullet. I would have autographed it even. As it turns out RFP agent P-Hump got it and for $20 and an RFP t-shirt it was mine.
In light of all this I have a treat for you. You don't have to win a raffle for this one. When you roll with RFP you don't pay for shit. This is a pic of Ken when he trained with the Russian team. Pretty much any fitness luminary has to have spent some time in the land of the Bear to have any real street cred. This one goes out from Ken to all the Ladies.

Twice you've mentioned Flnt's high crime rate. Perhaps the police dept., there and all over could start carrying kettlebells. When they arrest a "KingKong" type "juvy" perpetrating some violence; the cops could ask for a "How Bad Ass I Am" demo and set the adrenalin powered little demon to do a set of 10 minute swings. If he goes to boot camp he should be advised that this will be his morning cup of coffee upon awakening preceding the cold shower and extensive bible study, prior to morning chores then chow, then study, then p.t. There are undoubtedly many potential Special Forces candidates among the problem kids. And even if they don't make that, they'll be able to gain humility, a sense of accomplishment, and start positive goal setting behavior. I just feel that a kettlebell, some Sherriff Joe Arpeo tents, bible reading from a stern, loving Grama type, and purposeful work probably could set more than half these kids on a better road.

Good plan. I suspect though that many of these kids can't read. They will have to settle for books on tape. Of course if a program was ever developed to give them a choice between either doing long cycle for hours a day or learning to read, the literacy rate would skyrocket.
