Wrestling friendships are solid and long lasting. Because wrestling is a tough sport, kids gain a respect for their teammates and their competitors. Many coaches tell me that because of wrestling they could go into any town in Montana and have a place to stay and I believe that. It’s been 30 years since I wrestled competitively but last week I golfed with a former Polson teammate and every morning I receive a Bible verse from a former rival and then college teammate. These unbreakable bonds come from pushing each other to be better. These are true friendships where people show up for each other in their time of need. That type of friendship is becoming more and more uncommon in our current culture. Personally I am so grateful for all my former teammates, opponents, coaches, and everyone else who made wrestling possible for my generation. Your child will someday feel the same way.

Congratulations to the Ballard family on the arrival of their new child. What a beautiful family! 15 years ago Boyce became the first state champion at Glacier HS. He went on to play football at Tech where he got an engineering degree. Brittany was a standout in softball at GHS and played at the University of Great Falls later becoming a physical therapist. It is admirable just how much faith and family have become front and center in raising their kids.

Wrestling is a great sport to instill confidence in children. It is the only school sport where you are one on one with another person without any other object. In other words there is no place to hide and the performance falls only on the person in the match. By doing hard things like wrestling, kids learn to be confident in other ways. Over years of coaching it is by far the most satisfying thing to watch how children change once their confidence grows. They walk different, talk different, start to look people in the eye when they talk, and perform better in other areas of life such as school. In the age of technology we are seeing a confidence crisis in this generation of children. Putting your child in wrestling can significantly help in this area of growth. Special thanks to Three Sisters Photography and Azalia Rosales Media for the photography.

When you live in one of the most beautiful places you have to take time to play as well. Seven high schoolers who participated in the Summer Series enjoyed a lake day. Thank you to Coach Leck who showed up with a boat.

Finished up the Summer Series with Noah Poe Hatten. The kids got a lot of technique and live wrestling over the last six weeks. Huge success and looking forward to making it better next year.

After six weeks and 12 sessions of great clinicians, tonight (7/30) is the final mini-camp. We are very proud of these kids and thankful for the adults who made it possible. Looking forward to seeing what hard work in the summer does for the upcoming season.

Greyson is going to be a sophomore this upcoming season. Although he may have been a little rough here he is a great teammate.

Our program was blessed to be able to hire these two Providence wrestlers for the summer. Six of our ten clinicians from our summer series were from Providence (or UGF) which is right here in Montana. If you can support these Montana college programs in any way please do that. Many colleges in MT have dropped wrestling but we still have two going strong with MSU Northern being the other.
