What Is Poor Leadership Costing You?
"grappling for excellence"
Jeff Janssen estimates it might be as much as a third of your productivity!I belong to Jeff Janssen's Team Captain's Network Site and found this article that I thought was very significant. Any of us that have been around a while in the coaching arena know that winning and losing sometimes are separated by the smallest of margins. That fact is supported by research all over the place.
In the endeavor of creating and fostering an atmosphere of excellence I thought you might be interested in reading this article. Here is the link for Jeff's website and the url for the article.

In the article Jeff references a corporation that states the difference between poor, average and great leaders. There is some very interesting information listed here.

Teaching Leadership, Discipline, and Core Values In Wrestling and Life
General Douglas MacArthur said in his good bye address at West Point the following statements-you can read the full address here: Click Here For the Full Address!
But once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War's very object is victory, not prolonged indecision.
In war there can be no substitute for victory.
General Douglas MacArthur
I don't know about you but I take it seriously. Young men graduate at 17 and 18 years of age and in a year they could be fighting for their lives while serving their country.
If the kids learn to be leaders through our sport, they can transfer leadership throughout their lives. That is why I love the sport of wrestling, it is a pure sport, kids do it because they love to do it or they love what they get from it or they are proud of having come through the rigors of the training necessary for competition in the sport.
Press On!.......Press On!....Press On!
Press on!
No matter how difficult the circumstances-press on.
that you could, know in your heart that you always pressed on.

University Of Oregon Wrestling Program In Danger Of Extinction!
Value Of Saving Collegiate Wrestling Programs
My understanding is that the University of Oregon Wrestling Program is in danger of extinction. I say it that way as I have been here during the loss of the University of Washington Program, The Washington State Program, The Central Washington program and even some in my home state of Pennsylvania like Slippery Rock.
Those State Colleges were bastions of wrestling prowress and thousands upon thousands of young kids emulated the experiences of the older guys. Leaving the emotions aside and trying to be as positive as I can I wanted to make a statement of support for the Oregon Wrestling Program.
I guess my opinion and a dollar now days will get you a cup of coffee but I will tell you that what I say is sincere and what I believe and have given my life to I believe is in peril.
As a young man and I can't honestly say that I can remember exactly how old I was I played Little League Baseball a big thing in Pennsylvania as I was growing up. I rose through the ranks to be a fairly talented athlete. But to tell you the truth that is not what endears me to the sport.
I remember my Dad coaching , a guy that played sandlot baseball and my mom who passed way before her time at thirty nine , were always there. My mom used to pass the cigar box to collect money for another dozen of baseballs and my Dad was there to coach not because he really had the time , I don't even know if he had the passion. It was just that he wanted to do good things for kids.
Our record was incredible, I have had boxes of trophies from that experience, and that is really nothing compared to the friends I made, the happy experiences and the memories that I still have until this day.
I only mention baseball because it was one of my first experiences related to athletics and the only reason I ever skipped school was to watch Roberto Clemente play in Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. I got caught of course but the experience was great even though I paid dearly for the adventure.
I can remember that the stadium in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania was down the road across the tracks and down a dirt road at the time and one of my fondest experiences was that I left home one night seeing the bright lights of the stadium on and knowing that something to do with athletics was going on and I wanted to be there. I started walking and ended up at the gate without the quarter to get in. It was a track meet held at night and when I got there they were running th

Leadership In The Real World
"grappling for excellence"
Leadership In The Real World-What Good Is Anything Else?Part I
I was thinking about my father who had an 8th grade education- talking to me about "What Comes Around Goes Around". It took me some time to understand what he was talking about. I finally got it about the time I entered the United States Marine Corps at 17 years of age.
My father died an early death at the age of 56 but I believe he inspired a lot of young people while coaching our Little League Teams. He never got a college education but he knew about life. He inspired me to follow in his footsteps of providing young people with the opportunity to participate in amateur athletics.
He loved sports and was very good at them, but because of his responsibilities was never able to pursue them on a serious basis. He did instill his love for sports in me as I was growing up.
I remembering him telling me-Boy, everyone doesn't have the same amount of talent, but everyone can hustle! I can't tell you how many times that statement has helped me out.
As I coach young men I only hope that as I finish season after season that I impart some of those things to the kids who are working under my mentorship. To tell you the truth, if it is only winning that I was worried about, I think I would have missed the point. Don't get me wrong, I will compete, and I will compete hard-I just think there is more to it than the scoreboard.
My Strategy
I am trying to get committment, I am trying to develop leaders, I want to develop a championship program with true and pure champions on it. Young men who you would like to know, kids you would like to have as your neighbors. I want to develop Champions in Life. I want to help kids establish responsibility and accountability in their life. That would be success to me, at least in part.
There truly are no office hours for champions and at 3:14 a.m. and most people are in bed I am trying to figure out a way to get better. Trying to figure out how I can be a better Teacher, Coach, Father,and Human Being. I just want to get the job done. I don't want to leave any stone unturned. I don't want to leave anything on the mat. So when my official days of Coaching are over I have no regrets.

How Great Coaches Bring Out The Best In Others
By Carmine Gallo
Here is the link to the article if you would like to see some of the examples: Click Here!
In the movie "Training Day" there was an interesting quote when Jake Hoyt was asked about "understanding the streets"
Jake Hoyt: Yeah. You gotta control your smiles and cries, because that's all you have and nobody can take that away from you!
I have been looking for that quote since I watched the movie, kind of harsh and a lot of profanity but pretty down to earth in some of the big cities of this country. But beneath it all, I liked the saying, I kept looking for smiles and frowns but I finally found it, it was a perceptive thought for a young policeman and the veterans had to stop and think about it. Smiles and Cries that is all you have! Sometimes the world, competition, life in general gets down to that Smiles and Cries. I will remember that!

Behind The 8 Ball On Status Of The Oregon Wrestling Program
We might as well start with the naked truth we are going to get there anyway!
Evidently I have been way behind the Eight Ball, as they say on the status of the University Of Oregon Wrestling Program.I got a note from a friend yesterday that said that the decision had been made months ago and he gave me a website that has way more information on the situation than what I have access to.
One of these days I would like to find out what in the world is the truth in the dismantling of these wrestling programs and the agenda behind it.
I mean the real truth , not the spin, not the politics and not hiding behind title nine.
I wanted to be of support to the Oregon Program because I believe it is important but as I have seen in support of other programs such as Central Washington , decisions have been made behind closed doors and there generally is an agenda to the decision which will never come to public scrutiny.
Personally I was embarrassed yesterday as I had recently posted articles both on my web site and blog and then to find out that this is kind of a "done deal" really bothers me. I don't mind expending my efforts or even spending money. I certainly don't have the resources of some of the players in this scenario which reminds me how I felt at the swimming pool as a kid or at wrestling practice as a freshman when the seniors were soaking towels and twisting them and then snapping them at you . The sting to those strikes were sometimes excruciating.
Losing all of these programs year after year, reminds me of those stings and worse as there obviously in any of these attempts at restoration of programs I have not seen one.
That does not mean that it has not happened , I just have not seen it.
Had I been born with a silver spoon in my mouth or had been smart enough to amass huge amounts of resources I would just go in and pay for it. Unfortunately I am not in that situation.
I am just in the situation that I have given fifty years of active participation and coaching in this sport and to tell the truth it stings.
I really don't care about myself, I know what I have done through the sport and I know how much kids benefitted but I think I have been looking at this thing through Rose Colored Glasses. I need to get real with myself. You may feel the same way as you read some of the articles on this web site I am about to give you.

"Shake It Off And Step Up"
"grappling for excellence"
Shake It Off And Step UpPasco High Wrestling
I don't know if you guys remember the Timex watch commercial from years ago that said that Timex watches could take a licking and keep on ticking.
After finishing the River City Duals last night three points short from winning the title that is what I felt like.
Although I have to admit for a while I wasn't sure about the keep on ticking part.
I don't know if any of you read my article a while back where I included a story written about a mule that kept shaking it off and stepping up so I will include it for those of you who haven't read it.
Shake It Off And Step Up A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule 'braying' - or - whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened...and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.
Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back...a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back...HE SHOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow.
"Shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up...shake it off and step up!" he repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or distressing the situation seemed the old mule fought "panic" and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP!
You're right! It wasn't long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, STEPPED TRIUMPHANTLY OVER THE WALL OF THAT WELL! What seemed like it would bury him, actually blessed him...all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.
THAT'S LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity...THE ADVERSITIES THAT COME ALONG TO BURY US USUALLY HAVE WITHIN THEM THE POTENTIAL TO BENEFIT AND BLESS US! Remember that FORGIVENESS--FAITH--PRAYER-- PRAISE and HOPE...all are excellent ways to "SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP" out of the wells in which we find ourselves!
