Our wrestling season will begin on November 12, 2012.  I am excited for this up and coming season.  There will be a lot of new faces on this team.  Considering we graduated 8 seniors last year.  out of those 8 seniors; 6 of them have started at one point or another as freshmen.
We have 6 lettermen returning.  Our freshmen and sophomore class could step in and make a lot of noise this year.  They are very hard working and driven individuals.  It is going to be very interesting to see where our line-up is at and where guys are going to mix it up and compete for a spot.

Wrestling is a sport where you have to be driven and want to compete at every angle.  Not just during meets, but during practice, in your classes and your life.  I was talking to a few coaches the other day and we got on the topic of competing and what it takes to be successful.  Success is measured and determined different by everyone.  Everyone in life wants to be successful at some aspect of their life.  But are they willing to do everything in their power to make success happen.  We are a society of individuals that talk about success, but are we willing to compete to be successful.  This video really made sense to me as a person.  The speaker in the video is Eric Thomas.  He is an inspirational speaker that had struggles and learned from them.  He was a high school drop out that has really became a success through his failures.  Not by his triumphs but by his failures.  If you ever need someone to pick you up and help you think, this guy does it.  He speaks with passion and feeling.
