| Hey everyone... I was just thinking about you guys down there. I was looking over the website and seeing whats going on and since you ought to be gearing up for a new season thought I send all you guys a message..
First, I want to say thanks to Mike Floresca, the backbone of your club for more than a decade. I'm so glad he's been around to contribute what he does. Thanks Mike.
Second to all my wrestlers who have taken this family/club over so successfully.... a BIG THANK YOU to you too. You Alfi Boys I couldn't be prouder of. You are making the difference in these kids lives. Sometimes in ways you may never know or understand. Jon Floresca, I know you have moved on, but I know that you have left a void in the club that will have a tough time being filled. You too have been a huge role model for kids and I'm proud to have been one of your coaches. Brandon Leach, I've been told you too are contributing to these young mat monsters... Good for you man. Thank you... You were a hurricane on the mat and I imagine you are much the same in a coaching capacity. Teaching with more action than words I would imagine.
I miss you all and think of you often. The Rhino will always be a part of me like it will be with all of you. So with that I promise to reach point number three in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....
Here it is: With the beginning of a new season upon you I urge you all to start setting your goals... The board needs to have goals for the season. The coaching staff needs to have a clear understanding of what a successful season would accomplish... Above all you wrestlers better make your goals. These need to be viewed more as a "DECISION" (not a goal as a goal indicates optional alternative outcomes:) to achieve "X"..... What is "X"? Well "X" is your first win, or your first tournament 1st place or your first or next state title or maybe its a national championship. Maybe "X" is just to not miss any practices all season. Whatever your "X" is you need to start determining what you are going to accomplish this season. Set the tone for the season from your first practice or your first pre-season workout and create daily habits and make decisions that will get you where you want to be... Get your attitude right and know without a doubt that this year the 2014/2015 Wrestling Season you will NOT BE DENIED YOUR "X"! When you hit it, set another "X". If you fall short then figure out what went wrong and make daily decisions to make sure that the next "X" is all yours.
Go work, have success, and have fun along the way Rhinos....
Always your Coach,
Chad Requa
