One thing that we all can control is effort. Lehigh wrestling made several changes last week, and took control of many of the aspects during our two matches-- but mainly we controlled our effort. This may seem like an odd thing to improve on, as you always want to give your best every time your on the mat-- but effort is perhaps the most important part of "showing up" when that whistle blows. No matter what the scoreboard says, for 7+ minutes you can always give more effort. If your down by 9 points -you can get the last takedown and save a team point, if your down by 1- work has hard has you possibly can to score, and so on... Always finish on top, get that last takedown, ride your opponent out, score the last point. This is something that comes with maturity and we will continuity get better as the season continues... EIWAS and NCAA's watch out!
We had two great crowds this weekend, both in Grace and Stabler. I thank you for all of your support-- you make us Lehigh a a very special place to wrestle. When down matside, things are often different than what you think you see in the stands. Trust the coaching staff, & trust YOUR team. Our goals are not for November- and come March everyone will understand. Some teams are better RIGHT NOW, that doesn't mean that they will be better in March.
This week we are preparing for Pittsburg. They are a very solid team and we have a lot of work to do! We have a lot of positive things took continue to build off of from this past weekend. We are learning from our mistakes, and trusting in the PROCESS it takes to be the best.
One Team. One Heartbeat. Go Hawks!
