I was very impressed that at the very end of doubles, a wrestler came up to me and stated that he wanted to continue to have morning practices 2-3 times a week. Little Jose took a huge jump in leadership when he guaranteed that he would have guys commited to coming in the morning for some extra work. I am please to say that so far he has kept his word and came in on Monday and Wednesday with 5 other young men who are all dedicated to make our program better. That is just one more reason to be excited for this year.
************************************************************************************ In other news we have some kids that are getting pretty sick. We need to take care of ourselves in this time of increased workouts and continued fluctuation in our crazy Illinois weather. Washing your hands constantly and taking a shower after practice is a must. Leaving practice with a coat on is also essential. Increase your vitamin C intake and get plenty of rest. Fruits and veggies should be eaten with every meal. Stay healthy!!!
