He's been pretty focused since he took sixth last year. He walked off pretty disgusted with himself and since then, he's said to me and said to himself this year he's turning it around. He's trying to move to the top spot.
I learned more this year than I had wrestling for 25 years, all the other years combined. I've changed my technique, I know a little bit more of what I want my program to do.
They did everything they could, but they were just a little short. All my kids wrestled well. We just weren't able to finish up everything we needed to.
I think more than anything, the kids have a mutual respect for each other. For what they've accomplished and where they're going. To have that connection, that's something they'll hold onto for the rest of their lives.
He is taking up some new styles. I just showed him a new offensive shot and he had three takedowns in the finals with it for six points.
We had lost 14 seniors in 10 varsity spots. It was pretty scary coming into the season. My expectations were not around winning, it was more about wrestling hard and improving throughout the year and getting the most I could out of my kids.
He was very aggressive. He was working all week on making everything solid. He was up 16-3 over the Milwaukee Vincent kid (in the championship match) when he pinned him, so he was very dominant today.
I think the style he has is a very good style. It is a very aggressive, physical, attacking style and he can score from multiple positions. He's looking to put it together this weekend.
He only gave up three escapes and then he basically just took them back down.
