Kids...

Over 60 now with the Johnny-come-latelys. It's all good. I expect anywhere from 6 to 10 kids to enroll today... Which is great!

I'll have to do some research on this, but I do believe we will be running the best 4-day camp for wrestling with dates running from 10/31 to 11/3 in Groveport! Just sayin'.

6 junior high (all 8th grade) makes for 57 senior high. Very good mix of all HS grades. Add to that some EXCELLENT clinicians and I might not need to do research!

This is what I'm talking about...

Not yet. It might come on Tuesday.

Okay, real quick... Yesterday was just sweet. Big Lou went over philosophies of wrestling, then worked it in to practical application. It was awesome. Well, today, we followed up with Coach Marinelli. Then, at the end of today, we wresed live. What did we see!? A couple of arm-spins.

What's great about this to me is that Lou didn't have the kids practice 5 minutes worth of arm spins. He taught the principles behind why they work. And today, there were fruits of labor!!! Just great.

Oh, and, by the way... Tommy will be in tomorrow. Just sayin.

Well, another end to another year of the "Be Better" Wrestling Camp. And I for one, am grateful for the opportunity be around both the wrestlers and the clinicians. Thanks again to everyone for making it the success it was.

My hope is that, at some point during the year, we can cross paths. If nothing more than to say hi and ask how the season is going. Best of luck to all those who attended. And remember: Don't look to be good. Dont look to be great. Work to Be Better!
