FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL!
“The more concerned we become over the things we can't control, the less we will do with the things we can control.” – John Wooden

As a kid I struggled with nerves before a lot of matches. I used to catch myself wanting the easiest route possible for a win. This lead me to start overvaluing the win, which lead me to being scared to lose. Be excited for the actual wrestling, and good things happen.
The very best compete every day!
1. They compete in practice
2. They compete in every drill
3. They compete against the best
4. They compete in the weight room
5. They compete against themselves
6. They compete for the team culture
Choose to Compete!

"You have to learn how to build consistency.
Because it's less about who you play and it's more about who shows up." @CoachSheets3
