Inspiration

Allen — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:15:01 +0000

There’s books, movies, people out there that are inspirational. They make you appreciate all you are and all you have. You are better for having read, watched or known them. Here is a short clip of a person who is like that. Someone that has more challenges in life than we could ever imagine however he has chosen to enjoy life and do all he can. As a wrestling team we can make that same choice. We can decide that because of what we have and what we’ve been blessed with we will push our limits and be the best we can be. Watch this guy:

True Freshman…

Watch this kid wrestle, my favorite part is what his practice mate has to say about his attitude, not just during a match but in practice everyday:

500 Club…

Allen — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:11:45 +0000

I tried to get the wrestlers this year to go after the “500 Club” I promised shirts, dinner, and more that that I explained how it would help them be better wrestlers. Well I didn’t have to buy anyone a shirt or dinner, I wish I had!! The goal was to pick 5 takedowns and do them 500 times each. This repetition would make the moves habit and they would be able to hit them on anyone at anytime. Here is another’s article that supports my theory behind the 500 Club from an MMA instructor, Bob Dorris:

Most of the big improvements you’ll make in your martial arts come
from those occasional “Ah Hah!” moments of realization we all get.

So here’s a short and simple one for you to think about today.

What’s the only real difference between you and the greatest skilled
people in martial arts?

It’s the NUMBER OF REPETITIONS they’ve done.

There may be other attributes that give the really phenomenal people
some advantage, but they are secondary, especially for grappling.

I REPEAT… the number one thing that separates you from those you’d
like to be like is repetitions. Just decide what you want to be good
at, and do it as many times as humanly possible.

Don’t make it any more complicated than that.

If you need a roadmap to get you from where you are today to where
you want to be in the future in martial arts, you’ll go a long way
just keeping that one simple idea in mind.

Good training,
Bob Dorris

College wrestling is onTV!!

Allen — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:14:56 +0000

I’ve been enjoying the state high school finals on demand on Comcast but now ESPN has a lot of college wrestling on. Wrestlers of all ages can learn a lot about the sport watching these college level wrestlers. I just saw a true freshman loose by 1 point in the SEC finals because of one mistake, in a scramble he didn’t keep his hips away and allowed a bear hug. I also noticed that the wrestlers are’t using any special moves, they are just hitting the same moves we teach. I have had several coaches tell me that it doesn’t take a lot of moves to be a great wrestler, you just have to master one or two. These college wrestlers were hitting low level singles, high crotches, they all stood up over and over until they got away, the stand up is the go to move for wrestlers from the bottom.
Take some time to watch and learn, you can gain a lot from watching the best!! Don’t forget to get some mat time in too. Coach Humphery’s will be starting the freestyle program tomorrow (3/18) and nothing replaces mat time!! Freestyle is a great opportunity to get extra mat time and experience.
We will see you next week, remember shirts and ties wrestlers, we will squeeze in a team picture while we are there.

Allen — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:14:54 +0000

OK we have made the arrangements for the Grizz Kids program this year. We will start on Tuesday the 19th at 5:30 for the K-5th grade boys and 6:30 for 6-9th grade. The cost will be $50 and includes a shirt, this years shirt is a new design, the same as the high school wrestlers. Practices will be Tuesdays and Thursdays, at the above mentioned times for the age groups. You can register the first day of practice or online at https://www.activityreg.com/REGISTER_PROGRAM.WCS it is tricky to find the links so, from that page click on the 7th link down, County Sports Office then on the left click on register for activities then you select camps and clinics (twice) and there is then on for 2010, select that and below it will bring up a list of activities, scroll down to the C Hills Grizzly Cubs Wrestling. From there is should be easier to follow, just click register and follow the instructions.
Please look for more information coming soon, the schools are working on getting the tournament schedules together, that may effect some practices.
Thanks for your interest and support, we look forward to working with your boys and teaching the to love and have fun participating in wrestling, a sport that teaches confidence, builds character, and rewards based on effort.

Change of Venue

Allen — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:03:37 +0000

I finally received information about this weekends Clash of the Titan tournament. It has been held at Hunter in the past but only for a couple years, the list I had showed that however it is an Olympus tournament. We will be at Olympus this weekend for the Clash of the Titans, other teams will include: Maple Mountain, Pine View, Hunter, Murray, Riverton, Skyline, Taylorsville, Hillcrest, West Jordan, Syracuse, and Olympus. This is a varsity, JV and extra’s tournament so plan on being there!! Bus will leave at 1:15 on Friday and be back by 11, Saturday we leave at 6:15am and return by 6:30. Please remember we travel as a team, don’t ask to drive home with family.

Last weekend was heart breaking, we were missing several or our varsity guys due to injuries, nationals for another sport, and family events, thier presence was missed as we fell short loosing 4 dual meets at 6 points or less, two were 6 points (a one match swing) and two were only 1 point dual meets!! This goes to show how much we need these boys to commit 100% to the team, we all depend on them!!

This tournament will be a lot closer and easier for supporters to get to. I hope you can make it over to support the boys. Varsity will wrestle at the following times: Friday 4pm v Hunter, 5:30pm v Riverton, and 7pm v Taylorsville. Then Saturday starting at 10am v Pine View and 11:30 v Murray. Several region matches against solid teams. This will be a great tournament for our boys and a chance to prepare for the all important Region Tournament at the end of the year. Pay attention to these kids we meet they will be who we wrestle at the end of the year to qualify for state!!

Directions to the school can be found here: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/6-9grm Hope to see you there!!
