His clubs look legit. His youth philosophy is legit. His podcasts discussing sport psychology are legit. His clips teaching technique are legit. Took a beating from Burroughs for charity. Still legit. No complaints from me.
So cool that my kids look up to my HS wrestlers and so blessed that

wrestling coach today at MA state tournament.
Ed Smith is an awesome coach (used to coach me in the 90s in the short-lived room in South Boston) It was great revisiting some origin stories of our program.

Power and AGB both pin their opponents in their medal match, taking 7th place.
Merry Christmas! 🎄

Wish I could be two places at once. Boston Latin and Parkway Wrestling had great days today.
Next up for BLS: our big Blue Hills run on MLK day.
Next up for my kids: telling them they still have practice tomorrow even though wrestled in the Natick tournament.
1st time in long time Coach Berry & I asked team to vote for captains
Called the gentlemen today & asked if they’ll lead next year’s team to greatness. All answered the call
Never had 5 captains. I’m confident the “chaos” will create plenty chances for them to shine
Roll Pack
60-3 WIN
Awesome cross(face) town rivalry. Josiah Quincy puts on a great show: brawling in the auditorium, feels like an old school Charles Bronson underground fight club
JQ kids are tough but we weathered the storm & found the pins.

After a tough Saturday (W vs Northbridge, L to Chelmsford and Duxbury) we rebound with a BIG win against cross(face) town rivalry BLA.
Final score: 48-18. Kids did awesome from 106 to Heavyweight.
