What makes a great wrestling team

Question
Hey, i'm wondering, what makes a great wrestling team? is it the coaches training and knowledge of moves or is it the wrestlers?

Answer
Hey Marvin,

Thank you for the great question. I will offer my viewpoint from the perspective of a former national caliber wrestler, and as a national-level clinician for 35+ years. A great team has to start with a coach that believes in teaching excellence, round the clock. A great team consists of a coach with a vision, and a principle that he or she will not compromise, merely for the sake of winning - oddly enough winning isn't the only thing - and more can generally be gained from a losing experience. A team is only limited by the coach's area(s) of expertise, or lack of pursuit to stay current with the latest, sports-related technology. A great coach facilitates a great team by offering only the best routes to success, physically, mentally, and most important, spiritually. A great team consists of student-athletes that expect to win, whether by hard-work, or by genetics as a  warrior-culture that would never surrender. A great wrestler will always believe that he or she can prevail, regardless of circumstances or appearances, knowing fully well that the only inevitable defeat is if one gives up prior to the buzzer. A great coach must stay cutting edge with technique, embraced by old-school dedication, to be sure that no student-athlete is left behind. A great wrestler will have faith in his or her gifts from God, and neither athlete or coach will argue for limitations short of excellence. A great wrestler will listen to the wisdom of the coach, which , in turn, should be available on demand. The great wrestler will win at all costs, with honor, and individual titlists equal a team championship - when each individual takes care of business through the championship finals.
