To start off with, congrats and thanks for helping to grow the sport. You are heading in the right direction just by taking the first step. I can speak from experience when I say that IT, being ALL, will fall on your drive and determination to stay true to your kids! Show them they CAN and never let them think, I CAN NOT! Wrestlers find a way to win. Recruiting is the key. Word of mouth will only get you so far. Fill the room till you have no choice but to find more coaches that have only the kids best interest in mind. Keep the school and community updated on success.
Don't let bad times show in you or your wrestlers. Wrestling is the definition of what hard work is. I've been at this sport for 20 year and I have seen the sport make some great hardworking adults. If it were not for wrestling, who knows where I would be....? GOOD LUCK and see you soon!
