Man, you all getting a little personal, Tanner now don't you hurt that boy when you find out who he is.....
Its hard to be good on top if your never there. You need to take them down first and with the option start now days, that even helps the guy good on his feet. Top wrestling in freestyle is important because any turn you get makes your opponent have to turn you or take you down twice to tie it.
Yes we do miss Klemm, but saying that the college coach's or high school coaches had nothing to do with this year's finalist is crazy. Klemm is good and will remain good because he is out there learning new stuff and polishing his old stuff, he goes to work and works hard at it just like a lot of coach's in Kansas do.
As for getting out of the Kansas area that is a KHSAAAHSAAAHSAAAAA problem.
Our coaches are some of the best in the nation and we are doing things to make them better, like the coach's camp going on at Hays during the Southern Plains Camp. I don't think I have heard of any great wrestler who said I have had only one coach teach me everything I know about wrestling.
...To learn everything we must learn from everybody.
Most of all the kids have to have the interest, we can't force them to be good, it takes hard work. They have to want to practice and go above and beyond the average.
Its a team effort, just like it takes a village to raise a child it takes a family to create a Champion, and the Kansas Family of Wrestling is a darn good one to belong to...
