Palisade Wrestling
2016 Summer Workout Calendar
Wrestlers, Fully dedicate yourself to getting in the best physical shape possible. Become the hardest, strongest, quickest and most durable individual you have ever dreamed of being. That should be the goal of each and every one of you. Tell yourself every day that you must OUTWORK YOUR OPPONENTS. The time is now. You must be committed and you will have to sacrifice. Remember, everything great in life is paid for with a currency called sacrifice. You have to be willing to sacrifice, sleep, leisure and activities. Be committed to lifting every morning. The weight room will be open throughout the summer in the mornings by the football coaches. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A FOOTBALL PLAYER TO USE THE ROOM DURING THIS TIME. Remember why you are training this summer. You must be able to take the physical improvements you make this summer and apply them on the mat. Summer is where you separate yourself from other athletes, not only in wrestling but in all high school athletics. As you can see in the enclosed calendar, the summer training begins the first week of May, and ends with an overnight retreat. The calendar is a tentative schedule and I urge you to contact me so I have your number in the case that the schedule changes. I have included the dates of the Paonia summer duals as well as the Summer Heat Tournament in Sparks, Nevada. This is run very similar to the Paonia Summer Duals. It is a very unique opportunity. At this point in time we have not fully committed to this camp. So making every open room and fundraiser is necessary to stay in the loop. The number of matches you will receive at these two camps are a necessity if you desire to be a champion. Know that we as a coaching staff are very excited for the upcoming season. The talent we have in the room is very promising, and there is no doubt in our minds that we can be a top 5 team or better in 4A. Believe in yourselves as we do, and as Iowa’s Coach Tom Brands says, "You don't get what you deserve, you get what you earn." I have included my contact information below, please contact me with any questions. I am most easily contacted through text as I am in many meetings or with clients most of the time and am not able to talk on the phone. Also, below you will find important dates that you need to know and remember. I ask that you commit yourself fully throughout the summer in both workouts and fundraisers.
