World Championships Recap Published September 13th, 2010
Well just got back from the World Championships in Moscow, Russia. It was not our best showing and it was our first time since 1975 that we have not gotten a medal at a world championship. But all this has to say is we know where we are and what areas we need to work in. This is a chance to really look at what needs to be changed as individuals and a team. This was a painful tournament for the USA, but should be used as motivation now to step up our game and really focus in on what needs to be done. This can open our eyes and be a turning point for USA wrestling. We are the best wrestling team in the world even though it did not show this past weekend. We technically have it and have all the tools to win its just a matter of using and enforcing these tools when we compete. I know for me this is motivation for me to work harder to win a world and olympic gold medal. From watching in the stands this year I see what is and is not working and have picked up some great strategy to this sport. Even though we did not get the results we wanted it was a good learning tool to prepare myself for next year. We will overcome this as a country and be back on top very soon. Everything takes time and this is one of those things. Sometimes you have to sit back and look at what needs to be changed and take a step back before you go forward and I think that is what is going to happen. Before you know it USA will be back on top in wrestling!! Go USA!!
