It’s early. It’s early. I keep telling myself that. I wrestled decent over the weekend, but I am trying to be a national champ. If I have learned anything in college wrestling it is that it is a marathon NOT a sprint. What happens in March is truly all that matters, but all the way you have to stay solid, especially with seeding and the like. It is definitely a process and the good thing is this weekend I kept trying to go to a shot Coach Dolph and I have worked on instead of just going to my usual stuff. It is good to get pushed regardless and now I have actual footage to get some results out of. This year more than ever I really trust in my training. I am doing all the little things right and definitely I am going to be there at the end of the year.
I thought we wrestled tough as a team over the weekend. Kellen looked solid as always, as did a couple of the young guys like Jake Salazar, B. Zeerip, and Grant Pizzo. One guy I have been saying to everyone to look out for is Sean Boyle. Boyle wrestled a solid tournament and there is no doubt the kid has talent. He is a good example of someone who put the work in over the summer and it will pay off this year.
I hope our team is fired up for Pitt this weekend as they have a solid team. I’d love to see us get off to a great start as a dual team and we are going to have to battle. We will be ready though.
Good luck! You have people pulling for you all over the world. Go Blue! This is your year to be # 1
