On becoming a champion I believe I read it as the coach's will only push just enough and at the same time encourage the champions attitude. They will not push or force it! Correct? Last summer I was working with a college wrestler who was getting ready for the Olympic trials. He was extremely focused on his training for about 1 month and then started to feel unmotivated. How many times have you or your athletes experiances times like this? During our training I could literlay feel his energy into the workouts we were doing and also feel the disconnect during his time of being unmotivated. This athlete has been known to do this in the past, but none the less was extremely gifted. He won constantly in high school and college. Not sure on his record, but I know he could of wrestled anywhere. He ended up hurting his shoulder in practice which ultimately took him out of the trials. Very discouraging for me as a coach! His mind has been back and forth ever since! Your thoughts on this would be appreciated... Joe Awesome stuff!

Vey inspirational and educational. I am working with young athletes now and I ask them if they want to be champions? They say yes but blamethe team for not being good enough. I tell them that as individuals they make the choice to become a champion. It is how they see themselves that will make the difference. It is all in the work they do. Thanks for the post Zach.

Back in the earlier days, Coach Reeve was active on the dragon door forums and would post his daily workouts there. He posted his personal "density" type workouts and posted the football workouts. Man, that was an awesome time! I miss those days! This was the first interview I ever did with another Coach!
