Hello All,
It’s almost summer and wrestling camp and workouts are just around the corner.
I plan on working extra hard this summer with the boys to improve their strength and conditioning as well as their wrestling ability. Our workouts and open mats will be three days a week starting June 8th. these workouts will continue until we have fall sign-ups and start into the Lock-in, which will be sometime in October. Lots of time to get better, stronger, and back in shape. I really look forward to spending some time with each of the boys and seeing where they will fit into our lineup and how each of them progresses through the summer.
For all those interested in the June camp, call me or e-mail me so I can give you the details and correct information needed to attend. This camp should be a good one and you should learn a lot.
Some folks were asking if I would post the poem that I read at the banquet on here so they could re-read it. I am not sure it deserves that exposure, but I’ll honor your request.
Here it is:
10 years ago,
How was I to know
You could change my life this way.
When I started out
I had no doubt
The price that I would pay.
As time went by
I had to decide
To commit or let it go
Now it’s crunch time
Deep within my mind
And it’s time for you to know.
I know I’m rough
I know I’m hard
Sometime, may seem unfair.
But through those things
It only mean
I truly really care.
Your success is my reward
And I’m eager to smile with pride
To watch you win
Deep within
Theres a tear I fight to hide
Wrestling has been a part of me
Since I was a little boy
It’s in my family,
In my blood
A love I can’t avoid
I love the sport
I love to coach
But often wonder why
But then I look at you each night
and that love I have
I see in your eye
So as I stand before you now
Deep within my heart
I’ve made my choice
To let you know tonight before we part
I choose to continue to share it with you
This I tell you true
I’ll continue to share it with you
And hope one day you’ll share it too….
