Have something to believe in

If you don't have something to believe whether it be God, family, or whatever you are missing the boat. The fact of the matter is that whether you are going to the gym, entering the wrestling room room, or hitting the road in your Nike's it is always easier if you have that support from within. From a standpoint as both athlete and a coach, I can tell you when I enter the gym for myself it is much easier to push myself knowing why I am there. I truly believe God wants us to reach our full potential. I truly believe in my heart that my athletes were made for greatness and endowed with all the skills and mindset to become state champions. I believe in my team, I believe in the people I surround myself with beyond the shadow of a doubt. If you have been keeping up with my posts on either here or on facebook you know we lost Vinny Desario who was a great kid. He had a firm believe in both God and family. He surrounded himself with good people, and he always was working with the end goal in sight. I wish that all my wrestlers could be like Vinny. I remember when Vinny was a wrestler we joked and called him skinny vinny, when at the time he was not so skinny. Vinny however envisioned himself as skinny and worked out all the time to become what his predominant image was and that was always a better person, be it in the wrestling room, class room or on the golf course. When I was at his wake I saw all the great people he surrounded himself with and it was clear to me that we cannot take anything for granted. When I work out know I realize more than ever that life is too precious to waste with regrets, and what ifs. Make the most out of each day, have something that drives you so you don't have a wasted workout. Do what Vinny did and surround yourself with positive people, block out all the negativity, set your goals high, and make all your actions match the goals you want to achieve. If Vinny would still be around today, there would not be a shadow of a doubt in my mind that he would have achieved greatness. I believe the same about my athletes and the people who I surround myself with. Life is too short to waste on negative people, drugs, or any other nonsense appreciate every second you have and the people who are their to support you because tragedy can strike anywhere.

Vinny Desario was a great kid who was sadly taken away from us at the age of 19 to put that into perspective for me as a coach my former athletes from last year are now 19. Right now his family is facing extreme medical expenses. If you could help in any way possible please forward whatever you can to.

This week I will post two workouts seeing as I missed last weeks.

For Stronger Calves we are going to shake things up with a new workout

You will need a large isoball, and two dumbells 35-55 lbs each

1) Take your exercise ball and put it up against the wall and use your chest to hold it in place

2) Next take the two dumbells and raise your self up.

3) Step back so both feet are bout 3-4 feet away from the wall and you are leaning forward.

4) Use both legs and lift up your feet slowly and slowly raise them down as you would when you are doing calf raises.

(Do this for 3 sets of 15)

Todays Second Exercise.

For todays second exercise we are also going to focus on our legs but also on building some explosive power.

You will need a barbell and anywhere between 150 - 300 Lbs on the rack depending on weight class and experience ( DONT OVER DO IT)

For this two work you will have to be able to do a proper squat

1) Place the bar across your shoulder with feet shoulder width apart

2) Next squat down so your knees are at about 90 Degrees

3) Next explode up and lift your feet of the ground

4) Control the weight coming down and repeat
