[QUOTE="DirtyMike, post: 152151, member: 229"] There's plenty of kids that will make a coach look like he/she knows what they're doing. I grew up with Harold Fass as a coach. The man had two tours in vietnam with him being the only one of his platoon to make it out the second time. He ran football and wrestling like it was a continuous boot camp and the kids were tough as nails. He stepped down prior to me getting into high school. We ran through a couple different football coaches after that and the team is past laughable now days. It's sad to see them play. Wrestling has been dropped at the school and most sports co-op with surrounding towns. A good coach can only do so much. Kids are different these days. You find your show horses every once in a while but not often. In the end, I think a good coach has to be able to understand that there are different opinions/methods on training and success. A coach has to be a good student of the game and learn from other successful coaches. This also is where kids will flourish. Things didn't click for me until I attended some really good wrestling camps and was able to train under some future and current ND Hall of Fame coaches. It all boils down to the kids dedication and the coaches ability. There's no one answer. I have to say, it's tough to watch some wrestling now days. I wonder if coaches see me shake my head in disgust. Rowdie? [/QUOTE]
