I ran 11 laps around the field on Saturday.

No walking.

Because before the game Thursday night…

a deal was made.

For every hit the team got…

I’d run a lap.

Sounded simple enough.

Until they showed up…

and got 11 hits.

So after practice…

it was time to pay up.

Lap after lap.

Just under an 8-minute mile pace.

Not trying to set records…

but not taking shortcuts either.

All the way to the back fence…

around the outfield…

and back again.

And the whole team was watching.

Cheering.

High fives at home plate.

But the moment I didn’t expect?

After lap 10…

they joined me.

That final lap…

they ran it with me.

And that’s when it hit me.

Leadership isn’t about what you say.

It’s about what you’re willing to do.

In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:

• Why leaders must go first• How actions build trust faster than words• The power of discipline under pressure• And why people follow what they see—not what they hear

📖 1 Corinthians 11:1 — “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”

Because if you want more from your team…

You have to show them what that looks like.

Even when it costs you.

Even when it’s uncomfortable.

Even when it means running the lap.
