. After all, wrestling is not an individual sport. It is a team sport and it requires cooperation, discipline, respect, and positive reinforcement. My coaching philosophy is to build a sense of team pride and create a team atmosphere of both individual and group successes. We emphasize positive habits, practice, and hard work. I want my team to always strive for improvement and to set goals to reach for. I want them to understand the value of sportsmanship and respect for all, no matter what our individual abilities may be. Through our individual effort and a unified goal to succeed, I believe the Valley High School Wrestling Team can shine and reach true greatness.
