I found this interview of Brent Metcalf on Youtube. I found it interesting and it caused me to gain back some respect for Brent Metcalf and the Iowa way.
I wish I could put some of his mentality in the heads of my wrestlers.
Watch the video interview and then answer some of the questions below.
Say what you will about whether there was time on the clock. Say what you will about the push. What I like is the attitude of I’ve gotta wrestle hard, finish my shots and wrestle to the whistle.
How do you coach some kids to have a bit more of that mentality, the never quit mentality?

I love to go on Flo Wrestling and check out the Dirty Flo Scrambles of the week. There is much excitement and much to learn. You won’t just learn wrestling moves from these matches you will learn how to fight and how to apply the wrestling training you already have and have coached.
Check out this match between Alec Ortiz and Dallas Bailey.
Please share what you notice, see or learn from this match in the comments section.

“I’m introduced today as Iowa State’s wrestling coach because of the selfless sacrifices of my college coach, Bobby Douglas. I promise to work as hard as I did as a competitor to build upon the traditions I’ve inherited as head coach. Iowa State University is a special place to our family. I’m humbled and excited at the same time about my opportunity.”

What Others Are Saying About Our Products
"In “Coaching Young Couch Potatoes,” Michael Clapier teaches coaches what I call Primary Greatness (character/values) as opposed to the traditional Secondary Greatness (winning is everything) as an effective way to mentor young athletes.
I have always believed that winning is only one of many goals set by a wise coach to develop a balanced young man or woman. How valuable it would be if coaches nurtured, inspired vision, and instilled character development into young athletes so they could apply these lessons not only in sports but to life’s experiences."

“I have owned the Championship Access discs for three years and I have to tell you, they work. My kids connect with them and we have been able to help our new coaches clearly understand what we are teaching through every level of our program.”

"Every kid in our program loves technology and my biggest problem is keeping the discs in my bag. They borrow them all the time. They are great!"
