Just Do It

Today was a good day of working out but tiring for us all. We went and filled out 19 pages of information to be able to workout at the OTC. Some of the best questions were: Have you ever had acne? Are you stressed out right now? Do you wish you weighed less or more? Do you take Vitamins? Were still not sure what that has to do with being able to wrestle. We lifted in the morning, grabbed some lunch, headed to hotel to rest, and then back for practice. Practice was pretty tough. It started out with a great speech by Terry Brands about how he hates the phrase 'just do it" and quoted Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron so man sharpens man". He talked about how to use iron to sharpen iron you have to be violent, you have to hit it hard, and you have to be intense. That is how he wants USA wrestling to be known. Practice was tough drilling for 30 minutes, three 2 minute goes, eight 1 minute goes, twenty 30 second goes, followed by one 4 minute go. Lot of people came in today Ben Askren, Dustin and CP Schlatter, and Stephen Abas. Tomorrow we will go and lift, check out the world team's simulation of the world championships, and the finish with practice and dinner at the Davis' ranch!
