I just want to thank each and every coach and dignitary that spent 14 days of their lives away from their families, homes, etc. This has now been three years as a Kansas National Team Coach for me and have no doubt that you men that I coach beside are some of the best minds and most dedicated men in the sport of wrestling in Kansas.
Cadet Staff:
Tom Peterman- Great job organizing and putting together equipment, practice schedules, and all other behind the scenes activities.
Russ Hermrick- Your technique sessions and coaching ability are second to none. Your ability to scout opponents and knowing the who's who of wrestling is amazing.
Brandon Jobe- Great job coaching up the young men and preparing them with your leading of practices and warm-ups.
Dennis Charbonneau- 16 years on staff at 2 weeks a year means you have spent approximately 32 weeks away from your wife and youngest son for the sport of wrestling. Your technique and work ethic shows in your coaching and I am happy to get to learn from you over the 6 weeks we have spent together!!!
Peter Seriant- Thanks for compiling all the film so we can put together this DVD!
Junior Staff: Mike Garcia, Scott Reik, Austin Devoe, Cody Garcia, Clint Slyter and Richard Fergola. Great job with the Junior's this year! It was a pleasure to pick brains, discuss stories and coaching strategies over meals, and learn from all of you.
Cadet and Junior coaches combined are some of the greatest compilations in wrestlting minds that this state has ever seen! I would go to battle with anyone for you guys at anytime.
Good luck over the next calendar year and look forward to our next trip! Thank you again for everything!
