address amongst athletes college issues kids percent personal problems seems student year
We're having some personal problems amongst the team. When you have a 25-30-man squad, 10 percent of those kids are going to have problems. It just seems that this year we have a little more than usual. These are issues that college student athletes have and we're going to have to address them.
commitment dealing internal kids resolve trying
Right now we're dealing with some internal issues. We need to resolve them and try to keep working and keep trying to get a commitment from the kids that we have.
guys stay
I think some of our young guys wrestled well. But some of them just can't stay off their backs.
came dedicated fall last talked wandered
He wandered through last season. We talked at the end of the season, and he said he was going to be stronger. He came back this fall as a different person - dedicated and focused.
feeding formula tough
Being young is getting pretty tough for us. If we were any younger, we'd be feeding formula to these kids.
feeling last percent
He wasn't at 100 percent last week. Sometimes when you're not feeling good, you still have to go out and compete, so we let him go out there.
intensity knew meet using wrestle
They've been using different kids. We don't know much about Brown, but we have to wrestle with just as much intensity as we would in a meet where we knew our opponent.
feather impressed judges solid style voted
It's a feather in his cap. The judges that voted were impressed with his style and his aggressiveness. He had a solid tournament.
problem spots tough
They have a lot of tough guys. They're going to be a problem right up and down the line. There aren't any spots that we can just go out there and exploit.
capable inspired realized steps time unto
He started off shaky. He realized that he was capable of doing much better. Now I see that he's inspired every time he steps unto the mat.
experience exploit kids solid youth
Rider's got some real solid kids where we're real young. They can exploit our youth with their experience and maturity.
fragile kids moving small spirits steps taking
We need to keep taking small steps to improve. Our kids are young and fragile and we need to keep their spirits up and keep them moving in the right direction.
bunch catch happening outside problems whether youth
We can't catch a break. We have a whole bunch of problems whether it be youth or things that are happening outside of wrestling.
common compare looking meet top
We don't have any common opponents. We don't have a meet to go back and compare wrestlers. I would think it's going to be pretty close. Looking at the lineups, we're going to need to be on top of our game.
