A live Tuesday session from Training HAUS exploring community building through movement and relationship work, with discussion of macro movement development and one-on-one relationship formation led by Betsy Hodges and Leslie Davis.
On Tuesdays, we talk about building community. How do we see one another and move people together? Betsy Hodges talks about big macro movement development. Leslie Davis talks about that one on one relationship formation. Y'all, see you tomorrow morning as we move into Mental Health Wednesday.
Hey there. Good morning, Cadre. How are you doing? I hope you're great, but even if you're not, that is okay, too. I am again for another Tuesday here at Training House. This is a training facility for athletes, meaning people who have bodies who do things and then think about how they've done things and then repeat that thing. So who does that include? That includes everybody. So there's Olympians and professional athletes, the Minnesota Vikings training here, and then also people who are getting new hips or knees or ankles or people who are high school or college students or young kids who are doing what they do.
Good morning, Jules. Soon we're gonna be starting to do Cadre live in person connection events, where I'll lead an event that uses movement and conversation to bring together big groups of people who don't know each other yet to know one another. And Training House is gonna be our host, our home. But this is Cadre today. Cadre today. What do we talk about? We talk about what's going on in the Cadre sphere, which is always changing. Chris Fortman, how are you this morning? Hope you're great. On Tuesdays, we talk about building community.
That's relationship, right? That's communication or organizational development. That's personnel management. That's all of these things. I kind of talk about the macro. How do we see one another and move people together? C. she talks about, like, big macro movement development. And then Leslie Davis coming to you from St. Louis talks about that one on one relationship formation. Now, maybe it's because I'm sitting in a. In a movement training space. And me being a former prep tennis coach, I always kind of get that feeling, once again, to be in team sport land.
Now, again, you may be like JC but tennis isn't a team sport. And I'm like, everything is a team sport when it can be in my mind. Why? Because people make people better or people make people worse, but people have an impact on other people. So when I was coaching tennis, I made this 13 and a half foot rope with two loops on the ends that would tie around people's waists, and I would tie doubles partners together, and I would invite them to understand the impact that they have when they could sense where each other were.
This 13 and a half foot rope trained teammates to understand the power, to see where each other's bodies were, even though they don't have a direct impact on each other. And that's the idea, right? And Luke's in the house too. Bo hey, guys. You always wonder if we all just, like, hang out. The answer is sometimes. The cool thing is, if we were hanging out together all the time, we won't be doing the Cadre sphere. Anila, how are you, my friend? That 13 and a half foot rope. Sometimes we think the person who's already a part of the community is the one dictating where the team would be going.
So let's say you had a senior and a freshman working together. And let's say the senior, you'd be like, okay, now the senior's gonna teach the young person where to go. I would always work it the other way. That person who is fresher to the puzzle is the person who has an understanding of where we are going, where we are moving. Why? Because their perspective is fresh. Their perspective understands the things that the experience perspective doesn't understand yet. So I talk about the outward facing.
Click. How do we take something that we all innately care about, and rather than focusing on the thing, focus on the people who aren't a part of the thing yet? That's how we grow movements. So, y'all, as you look at the people that you move with today, consider that you are tethered to one another. And then look at the person who is freshest to that team, to that tethered unit, and let them do the tugging. Let them be the ones guiding the space and asking the questions why and where and how and when and see what happens.
Y'all, I'll see you tomorrow morning as we move into Mental Health Wednesday, but I hope you have a great day. And in the meantime, anytime you need, come right here into the Cadre sphere, I'm going to go move with Luke and a bunch of people I don't know yet. And we'll see you soon. Have a good one.
