"EDGAR UNDISPUTED"

Boson, MA "EDGAR - PENN II"

"... AND STILL LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
FRANKIE EDGAR"

Photo Note: As you may have noticed over time, I live life in a intense manner. I thrive on competition and the competition spirit. What you see on the outside is nothing to what I feel inside on a daily basis and in situations like these. This image captures the exact moment when my week lack of sleeping, eating and over thinking preparation was justified by the 50-45 Unanimous Decision. Congrats to Team Edgar Corners Ricardo Almeida, Mark Henry, Phil Nurse and Chris Liguori
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTION FOR PREPARATION & BELIEVING!

I like this picture above because it represents the start of the journey and the pinnacle to this point. Frankie's Mom, Dad, Sister, Frankie & Me. The same 5 people that were there when we started back he was 13. Its also the people who believed in me, what I had to offer and felt I could do the best job for our future Star "Frankie Edgar". Today he stands infront of us as the Undisputed Lightweight Champion of the World. To Frank Sr & Mary, Thanks for Believing in me then & now and giving me the opportunity to work with such a talent. Congratulations!

ON ANOTHER NOTE:
We all have people in our lives that strike a similar cord or nerve as I like to see it. DennyD is one of those guys that has been involved in some manner since my early years as a wrestlers in Manalpan, NJ. A motivator in my early years and a great mentor in these later years. I tell him all the time his words of wisdom send chills up my arms and down my spine. This is one that I woke up to after the big win Saturday night. He was kind enough to let me share it with you all.

Dennis D'Andrea August 29... "We tend to revel in the moment of victory and justifiably so. What is always much more significant, in my humble opinion, is how the next brigade is prepared for the future battles. Not all the "Generals" have that special something it takes to make sure that the message is carried on. I have been very impressed with your ability to pass that torch. Guys like you, Goodie and Coach Reid have provided Frankie with a basis of many things that has translated to his success. He has achieved greatness. He did not do it without a great support system. He too will pass the torch." Congrats!!
Denny D

"Its takes more than just words. Actions will speak louder in the end. Believe in your Dreams, and use that as your motivation to make the sacrafices it will take to be the best." Steve Rivera

Hope your enjoying the light schedule. Be sure to make the most of it 'cause come September we will be rolling full steam ahead. We have lots of talent in the club and I am preparing to provide a resourceful pre-season to ensure our readiness for the upcoming season and post-season run. I would encourage all of you to do some road work per week. Shorter runs at faster pace is better than long distances at slow pace. So go hard and get it done!

FACT: about Elite Wrestlers which I just found on TheShoreConference.com is that of the 134 wrestlers in Region 6 history of 100+ wins, I have worked with 36 of them at one point of their career including #1, #2, #4, #7, #9 in Top10. I like that :)

With that said, I am hopefull to grow that list year to year. I am have made it part of our system to include all the resources I feel necessary to make youthe best wrestler you can be. I would hope that you find the time to do the extras in your pursuit of your goals for next season. I have made adjustments and enhancements in our program to aid your progress but it will take your effort to make the most of it. Stay Focused!! More of you should be hooking up with Andrew Marr, BJ Young and the others doing the Cross Training on their time. They are both on facebook, Look them up.

REMINDER: 4 Weeks out from Frankie Edgar defending his World Title August 28th in Boston, Mass. Tickets are available at www.Stubhub.com Frankie will be fighting BJ Penn again in a rematch. Five 5min Rounds. In his first encounter with BJ, Frankie was able to show why he is the best in the world. Second time around BJ will be making adjustments that he hopes will make the outcome different but I can assure you Frankie is doing the same and will be ready to defend that UFC Lightweight World Title. If you cant make it to the fight you can watch the PPV at Toms River East High School, they are showing it as a fund raiser for the program but thats where all the action will be if your looking to watch it local. Contact TRE Coach Brett Taylor for information

ELITE FOR LIFE
See you on the mat,
Steve

Expansion, Confidence, and Success Grows at Elite Wrestling
By ANDREW MARR

(PRESS RELEASE) For the past decade, Elite Wrestling Club has established itself as New Jersey’s premier wrestling training program. Founded by former NJ State and NCAA champion Steve Rivera, Elite Wrestling is built on a foundation of attitude, preparation, focus, and relentless execution.  With recent expansion across the central region of New Jersey along with a partnership with Chris Liguori BJJ (a Gracie Affiliate) adding Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Elite is quickly becoming a household name in the Tri State Areas wrestling and combat sports scene. With the consistent success of his wrestlers on the youth, high school, and collegiate level along with UFC fighter Frankie “The Answer” Edgar’s  recent acclimation of the UFC Lightweight World Championship, it is hard to deny Steve Rivera’s ability to produce champions.
