My son (9 y/o) informed me he was videotaped by his Phys-Ed teacher performing chin-ups, sit-ups, push-ups and the shuttle run, and these videos will be played for all classes to demonstrate proper form and technique.
He currently holds the school record for sit-ups and chin-ups and is playing elite soccer with boys a year older.
Not bad for a man who was told he'll never have kids and should be dead.

"The dignity of man is not shattered in a single blow, but slowly softened, bent, and eventually neutered. Men are seldom forced to act, but are constantly restrained from acting. Such power does not destroy outright, but prevents genuine existence. It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
