Hempfield  Youth Wrestling Banquet March 15, 2015

Why  My  Kids  Will  Wrestle    1.  Foundation  sport.  Wrestling  is  the  perfect  foundation  for  all  other  sports.  Wrestling  is  balance,  agility,  hand  –eye  coordination,  flexibility,  positioning,  strength,  speed,  explosiveness,  footwork,  hustle,  mental  focus,  mental  toughness,  core  strength,  concentration,  competition,  and  endurance.  Wrestling  will  make  our  youth  better  at  all  other  sports.    2.  Fun.  Wrestling  is  a  game.  It  is  the  most  basic  and  instinctual  game.  Toddlers  wrestle.  The  sport  of  wrestling  is  the  ultimate  competition  where  two  individual  take  their  individual  strengths  and  match  them  up  against  each  other.  Wrestling  is  a  battle  of  wits,  technique,  speed,  agility,  flexibility,  and  toughness.  No  two  wrestlers  are  alike.  Fun  stuff!!    3.  Exercise.  Wrestling  is  one  the  world’s  most  premier  physical  fitness  sports.  Wrestling  develops  strength  and  endurance.  Poor  health  is  a  major  issue  in  our  society  today  and  wrestling  will  help  develop  a  love  of  exercise  and  physical  fitness  in  our  youth.    4.  Self-­‐confidence.  Very  little  is  accomplished  without  self-­‐confidence.  Wrestling  teaches  self-­‐confidence  like  nothing  else  I  know  outside  of  religion.  Insecure  people  have  the  most  difficult  time  learning  from  others  and  make  progress  even  more  difficult  than  it  already  is.  Wrestling  teaches  hard  work,  self-­‐improvement,  sense  of  accomplishment,  camaraderie  of  team,  1  on  1  aspect,  and  self-­‐defense  to  name  a  few.  These  promote  self-­‐worth,  respect  and  confidence.    5.  Self-­‐defense.  Although  wrestling  is  not  commonly  considered  a  “martial  art,”  it  is  the  #1  base  discipline  in  the  world  of  MMA.  Wrestlers  know  how  to  defend  themselves  and  neutralize  threats  quickly.  Wrestling  is  controlling  an  opponent.  If  you  want  your  kids  to  know  how  to  defend  themselves,  put  them  in  wrestling.      

6.  Humility.  Nothing  teaches  humility  better  than  a  1-­‐on-­‐1  sport.  Winning  and  losing  in  a  1-­‐on-­‐1  setting  brings  humility.  There  is  nowhere  to  hide  and  no  one  to  blame  but  yourself.  All  wrestlers  will  lose  at  some  point  and  doing  so  in  these  conditions  teaches  humility.  Hard  work  and  discipline  are  two  keys  to  success  in  wrestling  and  both  teach  humility.  “…I  learned  a  lot  about  taking  responsibility  for  my  actions  when  I  wrestled  for  4  years…All  professional  athletes  ought  to  spend  a  year  wrestling.  It  teaches  you  something,  You  get  pinned;  you  can’t  blame  the  coach.  You  can’t  blame  your  teammates.  The  guy  you  are  looking  for  is  staring  back  at  you  in  the  mirror”  –former  Phillies  pitcher  Mitch  Williams    

7.  Respect.  The  challenges  of  being  a  wrestler  teach  you  to  respect  yourself.  After  you  learn  to  respect  yourself  you  will  learn  to  respect  others.  You  learn  to  respect  your  teammates  as  well  as  your  opponents.  You  learn  to  listen  to  and  respect  your  coach.  After  you  learn  to  respect  others  you  are  able  to  learn  from  them,  a  life  lesson.    

8.  Self-­‐discipline.  Wrestling  is  discipline.  Repetition  of  drills,  hard  work,  weight  management,  and  continually  doing  the  best  thing  instead  of  the  easiest  thing  is  discipline.  Wrestling  requires  postponing  instant  “wants”  to  gain  something  more  valuable  long  term.  It  takes  discipline  and  focus  to  reach  goals.    

9.  Roadmap  to  success.  Wrestling  is  the  perfect  example  of  what  it  takes  to  be  successful  in  life.  Goal  setting,  hard  work,  determination,  focus,  love  of  challenges,  love  of  competition,  confidence,  being  coachable,  mental  toughness,  discipline,  creativity,  team  work  and  accountability.    

10.  Toughness.  Wrestling  is  a  physical,  contact  sport.  You  learn  that  sometimes  you  just  get  poked  in  the  eye.  Physical  and  mental  toughness  go  hand  in  hand.  You  learn  that  a  little  pain  or  struggle  is  part  of  the  process  of  doing  great  things.  Coach  Cael  Sanderson

A  Father’s  Letter  To  His  Son  I wrote this after a disappointing tournament when my son was 9 years old. I wrote it as a way to ease my emotions and to also give myself some perspective of my own disappointment in my son’s performance. I’ve yet to give it to him, and I don’t know when or if I ever will, but I thought someone should read it. - Allen Takata To my Son, You had a tough time on the mat today and the ride home was pretty quiet. I admit I was very disappointed but I later came to realize that I shouldn’t be and that it is all part of the journey you are taking. When I watch you on the mat I worry that you are doing battle while unprepared and that I have failed in your preparation. As a father that is my greatest fear, that you are unprepared to face the challenges that will come before you. I want you to be prepared for your match, but I’ve come to realize that it is the matches themselves that, are in the long run, win or lose, the things that ARE preparing you.

I think that the greatest benefit from wrestling is learning to face challenges and to demand the most from yourself. You learn to fight when you think there is no more fight left within you. You learn to get up after you’ve fallen, time and time again. You learn about sacrifice and about pain. You learn to endure and to overcome. This is what I want for you, not because I wrestled, but because these lessons are the true gifts of this sport. So, those losses today were actually part of this gift, and an important part of the journey.

My dream for you is to not just win championships and fill your room with medals. My dream for you is much greater and I hope you get much more from wrestling. I hope you learn to strive for greatness even if you fail in the attempt. I hope you learn to get up one more time when you think you can’t get up any longer. I hope you learn to not only face your fears, but to stare them down.

Wrestling isn’t about winning. It is about the desire to win. It isn’t about success, but rather the determination to succeed. I want you to succeed as a wrestler, not to win state championships, but I want you to be a successful wrestler so you learn to be all that you can. This sport can help teach you that, if you let it. I look forward to the seasons of our future as you go through these lessons and I’ll be in your corner for each and every one of them. I love you. - Dad
