As we head into the offseason…. What kind of team will we be?
𝗕𝗮𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... NOBODY reminds anyone of the standards
𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... COACHES remind team of the standards
𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... CAPTAINS remind team of the standards
𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 ... EVERYONE reminds each other of the standards

As an AD, we made a rule: if a student-athlete quits mid-season, they can’t join preseason activities or the next season’s team until the season they quit is over. Purpose: hold athletes accountable to their commitment.
History in the making ✍🏼
Girls notched TWO dual wins this week, then took 4th place at RavenMania!
Boys took 5th today at LSN- with Emerson joining the 💯 win club by pin in the finals!
Lots left of this story to be written….📖

TAKE. A. BOW.
With a 12-3 overall record, Emerson Tjaden is now a 2X Fargo All-American. Fell a little short in Freestyle & dropped an early frontside match in Greco…Before rattling off 8️⃣ in a row to take 3rd place!

Wrestlers obsess over learning more moves, drilling new finishes, flashy stuff, scrambling tricks. But here’s the truth
Most of your moves don’t work because your positioning sucks.
You’re trying to hit a perfect single from a bad tie. You’re diving at legs when your feet are square and your head’s down. You’re working the finish, when you haven’t even won the setup.
Here’s what the best wrestlers understand.
Positioning and angles win matches. Moves are just how you close the deal.
You want to score more? Don’t learn five new shots.
Learn how to dictate the tie ups and use your hands with a purpose.
Learn how to move vertically & laterally to create angles.
Learn how to continuously threaten opponent to keep them at bay.
Because once you can do that… the shots become easy. The finish becomes automatic. The match slows down. You’re in control every second.
It’s not about how many moves you know.
It’s about how often you can get to them on your terms.
