Just wait until they find out there’s a sport that REALLY teaches this
🔥Most D-Linemen go the whole off-season without touching a soul; however…
…avoiding contact can put your D-Line at risk for injuries and poor performance.
Instead use
@BOOMfootball
’s contact prep drills to prepare your guys for the battle in the trenches.

It’s difficult to find peace and impossible to find answers. But the love and support of countless others, and knowing Chris was a believer who is in the presence of glory that we cannot fathom, help bring comfort. CJ, well done; be thou at peace.

We grew up wrestling n dark rooms,rarely had windows,no fans there cheering. No one to see the blood, sweat & tears we put into achieving our dream. No one counting the sacrifice.We work n the dark so we can shine under the lights.The lights will still be there. Time to shine 🏴

We are gutted. Speachless. If you are so inclined, please pray for ALL student-athletes; that they will find peace in their hardships. Pray that coaches can lead their teams well through a difficult time. And pray for perspective - we are still incredibly blessed.

I still call my high school coach “Coach”. Wrestling is a sport that fosters lifelong relationships. Forged through the individual nature of our sport and strengthened through discipline, accountability, and TRUST.
#OLDESTandGREATEST
First-year NCAA men are more likely than women to remain in close contact with HS coaches. By sport, athletes in wrestling, track/XC and basketball are most likely to stay in touch, while those in soccer and tennis are among the least likely to maintain contact.

Championships:
1) Wrestling is greatest sport on 🌎
2) This is greatest tournament on 🌎

5) No excuses‼️

Current
@ncaawrestling
weight loss rules are archaic and prevent our sport from creating more exciting matchups. 1.5% (body weight) wt loss per week is both unrealistic and not backed by science. System served its purpose but needs updated!

“All together, 305,593 athletes participated in high school wrestling last season — 256,466 boys and 49,127 girls — marking the first time the sport has eclipsed the 300,000 mark since 1978” 👏🏻👏🏻
