Hello Everybody,
We decided to start a blog to keep everybody updated on what we are doing, as well as add some training trips, and talk about the mental side of wrestling. We have had a busy summer including the schoolboy duals, pinnacle summer camp, cadet/junior camp, cadet and junior nationals, and of course getting a new wrestling facility of our own. We are very excited about our new facility. We have been in there since August 1st trying to get it ready for our opening. We are planning on having a open house sometime the end of August. We hope you all can come. The buildout process has been interesting. Although I have been in construction for the past 7 years, I haven't done much of pounding nails, or anything else that had to do with hard labor. I was in the office running numbers, marketing, etc. I think Jared has done less construction than me, so it has been an experience. Luckily, Luke Becker is pretty handy and we had some great help by Jason Waste, Dave Brancale, and Brice Trom. We are planning on painting in the next week, so any help would be great.
My favorite picture so far is below. It goes something like this;
Jared: "What the heck is this thing"
Luke:on phone "Hey Brancale, I got two morons that spent way too much time in the wrestling room and not enough doing labor when they were a kid, can you come over and help?"
Jared: "What if I stick my finger in this thing? Will it make me tougher?"
