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.

REPOST from Timothy Cowen — current CBU wrestler.

Everyone should hear directly from the athletes living this.

Their voices matter. Their seasons matter. Their futures matter.

Prayers up for the family and loved ones of James Van Der Beek who passed away at 48 after a battle with stage 3 colorectal cancer.

He was more than Dawson’s Creek or Varsity Blues.

He was a father to 6 kids, husband, son and Man of God.

His message is worth 3 min of your time

[BaseballHistoryNut @nut_history]

Jonathon “Mox” Moxon in Varsity Blues gave a hell of a locker room speech

Rest easy, James Vander Beek

Parents play a bigger role in a wrestler’s success than most people want to admit. Not because of technique, but because of character. Coaches can fix shots and finishes. Parents build the foundation that actually matters long term.

Kids learn respect, discipline, and how to keep pushing from home first. If a kid is messing around, a parent stepping in right away sets the tone. That stuff matters. It shows there’s a standard and you’re expected to meet it.

And yes, when they’re young, parents can one hundred percent coach in the corner. At that age they don’t need some long technical breakdown. They need the voice they trust telling them to fight and give their best.

Parents should preach effort and attitude over medals. Support them, believe in them, and don’t be scared to point out when the effort isn’t there. That’s not being harsh. That’s teaching accountability.

When a kid starts something, they finish it. If it’s wrestling season, you show up unless you’re actually hurt or actually sick. That habit alone separates kids from almost everyone else later in life.

Parents also set the standard for nutrition, sleep, and habits. You show them how to take care of their body. You show them what discipline looks like. You show them what respect looks like. That goes way beyond wrestling.

And never weaponize results. Getting angry when they don’t win is the fastest way to make a kid hate this sport. No matter what happens, they need to know they’re loved.

If there’s one rule, it’s simple. Be the example. Live the discipline, the respect, the work ethic, the consistency, and the belief you want to see in your kid. Push them to dream big and work hard. And make sure they always know you believe they’re capable of every goal they set.
