4 Weeks left.

Well, we are 4 weeks away from the deciding factor, the State Districts.  With this being our first year in 3A this will be new for us.  Otherwise we would only have 3 weeks left.  I am happy with the way the season is going.  I was very disappointed at first with the numbers and the turn out of kids.  I thought that we would have bigger numbers as well as some returners.  But as it goes things and kids change their minds.  This is a good thing in some aspects.  As coaches we are always trying to teach our kids some life skills to make them better men when they leave us.  And there are some important decisions that effect them later on.  Now let's be real here, them deciding that they are not going to wrestle anymore is not a life altering decision, but it does hold some references to their future.  It is priorities.  As humans our priorities change.  This is true with athletes as well.  Some of these guys this was their life and identity for so many years that they thought they would die without wrestling in their life, well good news they are still alive.  Now I am betting that you are wondering what the heck this is wrestling we are talking about everything revolves around wrestling.  True, it does.  The point I am making here is that we are all on journey to reach a certain path.  In 4 weeks some paths will lead to the state tournament and others will be blocked or destroyed.  A lot of great kids will never see that goal come about.  That is why it is important that we do everything we can to get there.  Now will it feel like the end of the world? Yes.  Will the sun come up in the morning? Yes.  Will we always wonder what it?  Yes.  So the key for the next month will be making sure we are doing everything we can to make it to Vets.  Putting ourselves in the best possible scenario to reach that goal.
