This is by far the best thread going on these forums!

Too often we as a community get so wrapped up in wins/losses/criteria/rankings that we forget that which is most important...the young men and women who are competing day in and day out. This sport, more than most, teaches important life skills that will never be taught in any high school curriculum. Wrestling helps instill the discipline, mental/physical toughness and perseverance necessary to be a successful, contributing member of society.

Today, as every day, I feel very blessed that I have the opportunity and privilege to work with the students and athletes at Leavenworth High School.

Thank you Mr. Tillman for bringing the real purpose of our great sport back into focus.

Good luck to all wrestlers and coaches for the remainder of the season!
