With heavy hearts we share the funeral services for Coach Joe or as he was known by many in the wrestling room “Grandpa Joe”. Coach Joe dedicated the last 15 years to our program and will be deeply missed.

Why Wrestling is the Perfect Offseason Sport for High School Football Players

High school football players are always looking for ways to improve their game. Here's why wrestling could be the perfect sport for football players during the offseason.

1. Strength: Wrestling builds functional strength, which is crucial for football. The constant grappling and lifting in wrestling directly enhances upper body and core strength, which are vital for blocking, tackling, and maintaining balance.

2. Endurance: Wrestling matches demand high cardiovascular fitness. This endurance translates well to the stamina required for a football game, where every play counts.

3. Technique: Learning how to take down an opponent in wrestling can improve a football player's tackling ability. The footwork, balance, and body control learned in wrestling are directly applicable to football.

4. Agility: Wrestling drills often enhance lateral movements and quick changes in direction, which are key skills in football.

5. Mental Toughness: Unlike team sports where you can blend into the background, wrestling puts you in direct competition with an opponent. This fosters mental toughness, resilience, and the ability to think under pressure, all of which are invaluable in football.

Encourage a football player to wrestle this winter!
