I would like to take a moment to thank everyone that came to our tournament. We had some great competition.
For the HUNDREDS of comments about our tournament and the way it ran. Thank you. I think actually we had 2 complaints, but the hundreds of support comments certainly overwhelm the complaints. Henry and I have always ran the tournaments that we run in a unique and efficent way. We didn't do anything special or different because it was my club's tournament. I would never think of doing a tournament without his help and we will certainly help any club that asks us for help. Our next attempt will be for the Tornado's and Predators clubs on Feb 19th at Washburn. Be sure to get your entries in to Joselle this week.
For those coaches and directors that have helped me on a personal level this past week - an overwhelming thanks. I was about ready to give up and quit and you guys made me realize that there are always a few parents that are going to contradict the way that I do things and I have found a way to deal with those few that we are going to implement next year. I have been involved with kids wrestling in our little town for over 25 years, have been involved with 2 other clubs that have fallen here. I decided that 8 years ago when asked to take over wrestling, I was going to do it right this time, and make this club a success. Your support and friendship that you have given me proves to me that I'm doing it right. My goal is to teach kids to wrestle and to take care of my coaches.
Thank you again for your support and I'll see you next week.
