Tarleton State wrestling appeared to be Pac-12, or at least Division 1 bound. Head coach Grant Leeth and others claim they were led to believe THIS year. Administration had a different story.

Hill sprints are starting to look like hill SPRINTS again! So grateful I GET to do this.
You can live life with a “get to” mentality or a “got to” mentality—the choice is yours every day. Since last summer, I’ve gained so much gratitude for the things I GET to do again. When everything is taken from you and you can’t do anything under your own power, you realize just how much you took for granted.
For me: coaching practice, playing in the yard with my kids, watching them compete in sports—even doing hill sprints.
It wasn’t that long ago that I wouldn’t have been able to walk up that hill. Now, by the grace of God and the willpower to grind every day, I’m back to sprinting.
Stop taking things for granted and appreciate the things we GET to do.
Wrestling lost a true pioneer this week.
Bobby Douglas passed away at the age of 83, leaving behind one of the most impactful legacies in the history of our sport.
• 2× Olympian (1964, 1968) – 4th place in 1964
• World Medalist – Silver (1966), Bronze (1970)
• First Black head coach at a major U.S. university
• Head Coach of the U.S. Olympic Teams (1992, 2004)
• Led Arizona State to the 1988 NCAA Team Championship
• 427 career dual wins
Douglas was more than a coach — he was a teacher, mentor, and trailblazer who helped shape generations of wrestlers, including champions like Cael Sanderson.
His influence on the sport will be felt for decades to come.
Rest in peace, Coach. 🙏🏻

Plus he never ever stops. I used to set a timer for 40 minutes and say “this is all the time you get to try to kick my ass” I’m old, buzzer hits and it’s over. If I didn’t set the time I don’t know if he ever would’ve stopped.
