The 30-Mile March

As head of security for a well-known public figure, Samuel spent months preparing for a 30-mile Atlanta march in the mid-1990s — coordinating police, SWAT, and hospitals along the route. When a man broke through three security layers with a bag, the team intercepted him flawlessly; the bag held only a bottle of liquor. The lesson is "Practice, practice, practice": rehearsal under real conditions builds precision under pressure, reveals gaps while they're cheap to fix, and turns excellence into worship.
