Take a strong wrestler, get them tired,
and they aren't as strong.
Take a quick wrestler, get them tired,
and they aren't as quick.
Take a technical wrestler, get them tired,
and they aren't as technical.
No matter what kind of wrestler,
everyone is afraid of getting tired.
It's those who learn to perform
when they're tired that find success.

04/04/09 Congratulations Region 6 Hall of Fame Inductees
Former Elite Wrestlers
Vinnie Salek - Toms River East
Mike Gaeta - Manalapan
2009 MAWA Champions
Ken Bradley (Pictured)
Joe Manchio
Below is an email from a Region 6 Coach that attended the Hall of Fame Banquet. I have
admired this coach since I was a kid. Receiving it from him elevated the impact and his Words of Wisdom always strike a cord with me. I wanted to share the FEEL GOOD message.
"Hey Steve, Just a quick note to let you know how some of our newest Hall of Famers spoke of you last night. Mike Gaeta and Vinny Salek made it a point to single you out as such an influence in not only their wrestling but their growth as a person. Not everyone has that special "gift" that you have. All those hours and sweat cannot be measured in wins and losses. After all the banner and display is long gone, the measure of a man's life is his pursuit of excellence and his impact on those who follow in his footsteps." Take care my friend
04/29/09 I WILL BE RUNNING WEDS NIGHT PRACTICES
