At Thomas Downey High School Wrestling, coaching staff understand the importance of balancing academic success and sports. Coach Luis Magana communicates that regularly with his players by running grades every Wednesday and having small conversations with students who are struggling. This process allows the coaching staff to identify the areas where the student-athletes need help and provide the appropriate resources to support their academic progress. The dedication of the coaching staff to emphasize this balance is evident and will provide their players with the opportunity to succeed both in the classroom and on the wrestling mat.
