Time has a way of revealing who was there for the right reasons.

Students. School. Program.

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

You can have high standards and still have a heart. The two should go together.

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

One thing I’ve learned…

You don’t lose respect by admitting you were wrong.

Sometimes that’s how you earn it. 🐊

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

Some of the best things we did as a program had nothing to do with wrestling. 🐊💚

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

Looking back, I learned that opinions and personal agendas will always be part of coaching.

The important part is not letting either one change the mission.

School first. Program first.

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

It’s that time of year again.

New school year. New seasons. New athletes.

Don’t judge a student or athlete simply because you don’t click at first — or because you don’t see their potential yet.

Kids grow. Kids change. Kids deserve that chance.

Don’t give up on kids.

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

Years later, I’m more proud, more grateful, and probably enjoying it now more than ever.

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

Winning matters. So does respect.

[Coach the Coaches @WinningCoaches]

"Leadership begins with your behavior.

What’s more powerful? A manager or coach or teacher who tells you the right thing to do? Or one who shows you how to live and work by example?

People gravitate toward the standard you set, not the standard you request."

– James Clear

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

The hardest part of coaching? Making tough decisions when you genuinely care about every athlete.

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

We weren’t perfect.

But we were consistent.

Nobody was ever bigger than the program.

Standards = Culture. #builttolast

[Jon Ferry @JonFerry7x]

Some traditions are too important to let fade away.

Legacy & Tradition.
