I as a BluePrint athlete will promise to do my best. My best will vary from month to month, from day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute, second to second. Every second I have breath in my lungs I will be better than before. Pain is my friend, my dear ally in my fight towards elite fitness and athleticism. Lactic acid, wind, ocean, boulders or mountains; these obstacles only make me stronger. Without them I would be weak.
I run hard, I run fast. When I can no longer run, I will walk, when I can no longer walk I crawl but I never ever not finish what I start. I am not fearful of any man or woman, however I do fear the WOD. If I did not fear and respect the WOD, it is not hard enough.
I may get sick, throw up, blackout, bleed and cry, but I never ever ever quit, if I have life in me, I will finish my WOD. I approach life and my training with integrity. I will never cheat, in fact I will do more work then is prescribed. There is no honor in a false victory.
The training session missed is an opportunity missed. I will never miss this opportunity to become a better athlete and human being. I will give every ounce of energy that I have and then look deep inside me and find some more. I will leave it all in that square box.
I never complain or whine about a training session or life as I know that it will prepare me for the knowable and unknowable in daily living. As I come out victorious from the defeat of the WOD, I will cheer and support my fellow athletes in there personal battle.
I will run, jump, lift, climb and be proficient at any and every physical task that I encounter. I will openly accept challenges, break personal records, eat properly, sleep, wake up and GO GET SOME all over again. I am a BluePrint Athlete and this is my oath!
