We had a wonderful first day. The excitement and enthusiasm gave me goose bumps. I am very pleased with the group of kids that have come out. The athleticism already has floored me. I look forward to watching them grow through out the season. So far it does not look like they are afraid of hard work. I hope this trend continues.
In terms of leadership, I feel that there are two kids that stand out in my mind at this point and I am hoping that at least two more will emerge. Leadership is a funny thing. There are multiple styles and ways to lead but I am looking for someone that will not only be vocal and lead by example but will also be positive and encouraging. I am looking for someone that will not only lead in the wrestling room, but also in the classroom and community. Leadership is not a sometime thing, it's an all the time thing. Who will step up? I look forward to finding out. Get rest gentlemen. Ice those sore legs, drink some fluids, eat a good carb filled meal and get the homework done. Day 2 is a few short hours away.
