From what I have seen, in my many years of wrestling and coaching, Tennessee has shown great improvement on the skills of wrestling. I tip my hat to ALL coaches and parents for putting in the effort to show the kids a great sport that makes men out of boys! I know that it has had many ups and downs for my family but overall I am proud to ware my Tennessee colors. I have traveled all over the country seeing different states wrestling to watch some of the kids I have coached wrestle in their State Championships and I have to say we are looking very good! Some kids stand above others bit I see the entire state looking better and better! It starts with the youth! So many youth programs out there now it is hard to count them. The passion and dedication from volunteer coaches/dad's is simply amazing! Thanks to great people we can have a stronger Tennessee. He's kids, soon to be the next generation of leader, workers, defenders for our country have been shown how to be a Gladiator in this world of monstrous challenges. Gladiators don't quit, claim what's in their grasp and reach for more than the Playstation age kids of yesterday! My two boys have said it for the past two years that Tennessee is better and better. Good luck over the summer and we hope to see you guys at the barn next year!
Pain motivates where the loss intimates but winning is PRICELESS!
