shootthehalf Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Guys, It's me again going from the frying pan into the fire! I am in need of my beloved wrestling families help, I celebrated my 70th birthday on Sunday by accepting the assistant wrestling coaching position at Pearl-Cohn HS, another inner city high school in Nashville without a tradition in wrestling. Coach Bryan Youngsma has done a great job coaching the team by himself the past two years! Our athletes have all talent in the world, but very little money, Monday was my first day practicing with the guys and girls on the team. Most of them don't have wrestling shoes, they are practicing in their school clothes and in their sock feet! In 2010 I asked for your help with donating whatever used wrestling gear for Stratford HS, that you had left over at the end of the season. Believe me when I tell you that these guys will be like kids at Christmas to get anything to wear for practice and during matches! Anything that is still useable will be greatly appreciated! You can reach me at 615-400-4589 or wrestlingdominancerater@gmail.com Let me know what you have and for me make arrangements on the best way for me get your stuff to the Pearl-Cohn wrestlers! I am thanking you in advance because I know the heart of our great wrestling family! Have a great and healthy upcoming season. God bless!

GRILLZ Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 Coach, yours is an admirable effort not only for giving back to a program in a dire context but doing so at 70 yrs young. I might he able to help out in regards to the shoe situation; please give me 48-72 hrs and I will get back to you thru email &/or phone. Regarding the rest of the coacht community; I think it is p$ss poor that no one else has publicly offered support to this gentleman on this thread (hopefully efforts have been made off this medium to do so)! It isn't like PC is asking for a major donation for new mats or to hyperboliZe; an endowment to build a palace to rival the château on Norwood. It is a simple request by a selfless coach in a resource starved system to procur the basics. Efforts like these are crucial to preserving and growing the sport.
