Alright Parents and Cardinal fans, here is the first post. I just want to start out by saying how excited I am to be back in Cardinal Country. It has been a dream of mine since I was a freshman in High school to come back here and coach and it’s a great feeling to know I’m back where I belong. As for the team, we have been working out very hard and making great gains. We just got back today from a week and half off and they hit it hard. They went for a 3 mile run in the rain, then we hit the weights hard and finished up with sprints in the gym. They are starting to learn what it’s all about. One thing that I keep emphasizing to them is that everyone (Oxford, Lake Fenton, Hartland, etc.) is already doing what we are doing right now. The difference is how much they put into each workout. The amount of intensity and attitude that they put into each workout. Too many wrestlers in the sport of wrestling go through the paces and remain comfortable because it is easier. We need to get out of our comfort zone and the moment we feel tired is when we have to take a shot and take our opponents down. The moment that we are tired is most likely the same time our opponent is and that one take down is the breaking point. I think for the most part our guys do a great job of that. We just need everyone to buy into the system. Other than that we are doing great things and I expect a lot out of the Cardinals this year. Coach Hall and I are very excited and can't stop talking about our team this year. Thank you for reading and many more post to come.
