Everyone wants to win but not everyone can see the value in being uncomfortable, not being afraid to lose, being okay with making mistakes, being patient for progress to happen, consistency and being grateful for the journey. The ones that do become great.

Rapid reaction @GoJacksWrestle:

Thinking about suing my dad for making me a Chicago Bears fan.

When a wrestler is afraid to lose, that can be fixed. However, when the parents are afraid of their son or daughter losing, it’s pretty much over.

If you’re going to set high goals for yourself, you have to consider the LIFESTYLE it’s going to require to achieve that goal. You can’t commit to the destination if you’re not willing to commit to the process required to get you there. WIN THE DAY!

The uncertainty of sports is stress, but the uncertainty is joy. Without it we are just watching a movie on repeat. The highs and lows are a package deal. As a coach, the heartbreak is worth it all if you help one person be better. At sports, at life. No risk, no courage.

Good Luck to our wrestlers as they head out to Rapid to compete in the State Wrestling Tournament, which starts on Thursday!!!

Region Wrestling takes place on Saturday in Miller. Parkston is ready to COMPETE!!!

One of the best pieces of advice I got is that anyone can train when they feel like it. Those that are obsessed with CONSISTENCY and train when at their worst mentally are your winners of the marathon. You don’t always want to be there (Xmas Break) but you find a reason to be.

Been at a youth wrestling tournament all day. Best piece of advice I’d have for any dad/coach - say less. Let the kids think, react, make decisions - good & bad, and let them wrestle! It’s a big part of the development process. Playing puppet master is a short-term solution.

Check the stats @jasonnolf 👌🏻

Wrestling Starts TODAY!!!

So let me get this straight: -Guardians wanted to play last night, Yankees didn’t. -Multiple articles about how the “MLB needs New York to win.” -No hotels would accommodate all of the Guardians. -Yankees wouldn’t sell tickets to Ohio addresses. Anything else?

Actual footage of Terry Francona in the Guardians clubhouse when the “Rain Delay” got announced:

I believe we are witnessing the best phase of talent in the United States for mens freestyle, ever.

Have my boys with me at HS wrestling camp & the way my guys & all the other HS kids from everywhere/coaches go out of their way to treat them is very refreshing… there still are some good human beings out there! #kindness

@Coach_Wilber That’s fun to watch…

I once went 0-5 with 4 strikeouts in a state tournament game. This was a better night than that one. 😂
