I have seen many of these coaches in action. Reik is the man! Church is great! Slyter may be a little fruity.....kidding, but not really. All these guys take time away from their families to support Kansas Wrestling and should be commended for it.
These coaches are put in a slightly unique and tough position as they do not coach most the kids wrestling on a regular basis. Knowing what a wrestler needs to work on is easy. Getting him to actually do it, can take months or longer. So to say team Kansas is horrible at gut defense is one thing. To say there defense is horrible because of coaching and we need to get new coaches is REDICULOUS. A 2 - 3 day camp before fargo is not long enough. I know some of these states are training a full week or longer together before they step on the Fargo mats. If costs do need to increase (whatever). Let's have a longer camp.
It would be cool to see our club teams somehow get more unified. In Wichita for example it seems there are 5-6 (maybe more) Freestyle/greco clubs all working out seperate from one another. I do know that sometimes the numbers at these practices can be pretty pathetic. If they could combine to maybe 1 or 2 clubs, numbers would be better, and kids would get better competition at practice. The word gets out that this is the place to be and BAM! You've got a Bada$$ club.
Just thought but what the hell do I know.
