Parkside Wrestling

Our youth tournament is rocking right now! Thanks to all the wrestlers and families who came out to support Parkside Wrestling today!!!

Not directed towards anyone but a reminder of where we want everyones mindset to be before walking onto the mat.

Wrestling Mindset

I believe I say this all the time when we go live! It’s a mindset. Be the jerk or the PREDATOR on the mat, and your a gentleman or lady off the mat.

“Be the Jerk” World Champ Dennis Hall used to tell his athletes #MentalEdge #Mindset #Toughness #mindsetmakesthedifference #motivation #toughness #testimonial

New car decals available for $5.00 in the downstairs room.

Another concept we are stressing. You have to take control of your training. Dedicate time away from practice to get better. Commercial breaks, off days, snow days whatever the case, find time to do extra. It goes with my normal end of practice saying...” Somewhere, in some other room, someone is working harder than you. You either got better, stayed even, or fell behind someone today. Your work ethic will let you know which of those three happened. Champions go above and beyond when no one is looking or telling them to!

I’ve been telling our kids since week 2 or so, you should always journal after practice. Write down what you learned, the steps to what you learned, questions about it, and rate yourself on tour technique. Should also jot down how many push ups, pull ups, or sits ups you do and aim tondo more the next day! Can’t set goals if you never have a starting point.
