Part 2 - https://www.fivepointmove.com/usa-greco/editorial-in-too-deep-gm/

2x what everyone is saying, I'm stuck with an Adidas contract supplied a local shop and we have to get our orders in July/August to get them in time for season... We order the bare minimum for the contract and then have the "club" supply the rest thru another supplier

2FA is good to enable, but don't go the SMS route (https://securityboulevard.com/2021/12/why-using-sms-authentication-for-2fa-is-not-secure/, https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/09/the-limits-of-sms-for-2-factor-authentication/), try to use a tool such as the Google Authenticator (1Pass has the ability be to used a 2FA, https://support.1password.com/one-time-passwords/)

Tonight's dual will be streamed on https://www.buknightssportsnetwork.com/ with your's truly on the mic, the action starts at 7PM I haven not seen the lineup yet so no insight there outside of the Bellarmine group has been putting in work

Bellarmine is hosting Lindenwood tonight, can be streamed at https://www.buknightssportsnetwork.com/

It'll be a split event for me, having attended Lindenwood but a Bellarmine fan - got my new Lindenwood shirt in the mail yesterday but will rock a Bellarmine hat

This Wednesday, new D1 Lindenwood will be wrestling the Knights at home at 7PM.... Should be a great dual and the first home one of the season Thoughts?

This quote, 2x

If your team does any type of online work, what does it look like? Interested in what other folks are doing We built out some during COVID and still use them for Holiday workouts (like the day after Thanksgiving) when numbers would traditionally be low, see our stance motion workout (it will auto go to the next move, announce it, and has a ticker, so we do a Google Meet, present the screen, and make everyone have the cameras on)

If Trump loses the primary to (assuming) DeSantis, does he run as a third party and then siphon off the vote? In that case does Newsom decide to run (right now he says no) and sweep the election with a splintered GOP vote?

from Mitch McConnell (https://www.businessinsider.com/mitch-mcconnell-never-predicted-red-wave-voters-frightened-republicans-2022-11) Interesting article with some data... https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/11/15/data-trump-weighed-down-republican-candidates/ Would seem to me that the hardcore GOP members still love Trump, however moderates and independents do not and if the party wants to win, they need to move away from Trump and become more moderate

Cool thing I noticed you can do with clubs is the ability to add pages to the club I went ahead and added Bellarmine's schedule to the club for instance, https://intermatforums.com/clubs/page/1-schedule/

I did commentating for the first time last year for Bellarmine's home meets, wayyyy harder than I would have ever thought it would be. I took more of the color approach while my partner did the play by play, but with wrestling since it happens so fast and in spurts, it was hard to transition well

Some more ideas from what we do here , it's a little old at this point but hopefully can get some ideas out of it

Just a heads up, the Knights RTC is a full go now. On the RTC roster currently there is Michael Tortorice, who placed top eight at the Freestyle World Team Trials and was runner-up at 57 kg at Bill Farrell. https://knightsrtc.com/

My issue is the jump between 175 and 190, thats a huge gap (granted only two pounds more compared from 182 to 195) but I'm off the mindset of more upper weight classes to get more athletes out. For my high school, we end up with a ton of football players all between 200 and 285 and only two weight classes for them. We wrestle in both Indiana and Kentucky during the season, so it's gonna be fun flipping between the two different weight class systems this year. Last year it wasn't too bad, but it sucks for the 182lber since now its either cut to 175 or gain to 190 but be ready the next weekend for 182.

We do a lot of toe tag (we do hands to the foot), sharks and minnows, bone fight, and king of the ring (decent amount of kids start in a circle, can't come out of a bear crawl, have to either get pushed out of the circle or turned)

I went with my first name, being a fresh forum and all, had to grab it

So I coach at our area's inner city school... gonna ramble here One of the biggest things I think is understanding circumstances and the wrestlers as a coach.... For instance, I had a kid not shave before a meet so I'm a little aggravated and pull him aside, turns out no one has ever taught him to shave (he lives in a foster facility). I had another kid not making it to practice because his mom was too drunk, two dad's last season OD during season. Nuance that is needed (not saying be a players coach but also not being a hard liner) If you can address things that the team can provide before it even reaches the wrestlers, its a big difference (providing and washing practice gear daily, finding a business to pay for or subsidize costs, etc...) Some kids need wrestling and wrestling needs some kids, but drawing the line of a kid needing wrestling and a kid taking other kids down Content needs to be relatable, to be blunt Dan Gable posters and old Iowa content do not work (or at least for us) Showing that you are prepared helps a long way to the kids looking up to you as dependable, don't wing practices Give the kids something to want that isn't wrestling.. So we do a lock in, chili supper, jv buffett, a few overnights, xmas break basketball tourney, full team “field trip”, special “black team” gear for varsity at the end, etc... In the offseason, going to places they haven't been to (like kayaking, hiking, etc..) Kids quit when they don't get playing time in any sport, so make sure JV kids get matches, ours will get 18/20 a season We write postcards to every incoming freshman in the summer inviting them out to wrestling, do a free two week elementary league at all of our feed elementary schools and then do a big meet at the end of it (making the high school kids coach at each of the schools before than get any end of the year awards), give out multi sport shorts for kids doing more than one sport, give out preseason shirts, etc... (we make and give away shirts for everything) At the end of the day, wrestling is just the tool you have to impact them

MatBoss is awesome So my team has four iPads, we send two with varsity and two with our B/C team to record/keep track of all our matches. It syncs with Trackwrestling and you are able to pull down rosters and what not, makes book keeping a breeze. Generally we run with two iPads at an event so once one battery dies we can roll with the other and let the other one charge (tried an external battery but was more of a pain since its high school kids keeping track of it)

I did a road trip thru Turkey for two weeks last summer, only spent a few days in Istanbul... 10/10, would go again (photos)
