Thanks for you time and support these first few weeks of the season!  It is always a relief to get past the first couple weeks and not have to worry so much about physicals and hydration tests and the first competition.   The goal of the tournament last week was to get lots of great mat time and I think we achieved that.  This week we have a busy competition schedule with duals at Olympus on Wednesday and Thursday and then a big tournament this week at Layton High School for the Varsity and the Legacy Events Center in Farmington, UT.  I will be posting the expected rosters for those events Tuesday or Wednesday this week.

Tournament Preparation:
As we prepare for a big tournament this weekend I wanted to give a few suggestions to help athletes prepare.  
  1. Get homework done early in the week, if possible. 
  2. Utilize time at tournament s to stay on top of homework.
  3. Pack your bags the night before with your gear and pack plenty food to eat!  Tournaments can be long days and if you have very little to eat... your day just got a lot longer.  You will also wrestle worse if your hungry so... pack plenty of food or bring money to buy some food at concessions.
  4. Bring some books or games  and some comfort items such as blankets and pillows to help you relax between matches.  Rest is so important for long days.  
  5. Be ready to cheer for your teammates!  Lets get up cheer at every possible match that you can.  Talk to your teammates about their success and help coach them through their failures.
  6. Learn to respond to challenges or things not going your way.  How will you respond if you lose?  If wrestling doesn't start on time?  If a ref makes a call that you disagree with? 
    1. Learn to emotionally be resilient and focus on getting better at wrestling not winning:).  T
    2. his time of year is all about getting match time and learning from your mistakes. 
    3. Visualize how you can/should respond to these situations.
