Coach Weltzin and Coach Glenn are trying to get a group of Fathers and sons together for an experience of a lifetime.

We will be traveling to St. Louis, Missouri to watch the top wrestlers in the country. The object of this trip is to show our wrestlers what their goal needs to be. Their goal is not to start for our program, its not to win state titles, the goal of our program is to win NCAA and Olympic titles.

This will be a stepping stone to show them what the goal is and what they need to work for, so they can start focusing on the goal of the program. This experience will show your wrestler that he is on the right track, when he knows the moves and sees them in action in the toughest tournament in the nation.

What Should My Wrestler's Bag Contain?

What should your wrestler pack in his wrestler's bag? Even though most bags are a No Man's Land of Stink and Pew, here are a few things/ideas to pack, especially to you new-to-wrestling folks.

• Wrestling shoes - one for each foot, you know, one left AND one right
• Spare socks, holes optional
• Running shoes
• Singlet - if the coach hasn't given it to you
• Headgear - it's the rule
• Warm-up suit - it's really important to stay warm between matches, warm muscles perform better
• Hand towel - for the blood, sweat, and tears, and you might want one for your wrestler too ;~)
• Deodorant, yes, deodorant. You may not notice your hard work aroma, but others will. I promise!
• Mouthguard - if you have braces or don't want to ruin those perfectly spaced expensive teeth that Mom and Dad financed
• Filled water bottle (or two)
• Athletic tape, optional. This stuff is like wrestler's duct tape - you can use it for almost everything
• Apple, crackers, or some quick carbs, just do Mom a favor and remember to take them out at the end of the day, not the end of the season
• Hey, don't you have some homework to do? Hmm, there's an idea of something else to pack.
