What a weekend at the Waterway Duals.
I couldn’t be more proud of the way our Broad Axe kids competed. Across every team, our wrestlers battled their butts off against some really tough competition and represented our club the right way.
⚔️ High School Gold: 6-2
⚔️ High School Green: 5-3 while giving up 3 forfeits
⚔️ Middle School: 6-2 and 7th overall
⚔️ Elementary: 6-2 and 7th overall
⚔️ Girls: 7-1 and 2nd overall
Our girls especially showed out this weekend, dropping an incredibly tight final by just two points. An unfortunate injury on Saturday changed the complexion of the tournament for them, but that’s part of sports. We’ll give this group the recognition they deserve in a separate post because they had an awesome weekend.
Were these exactly the results we came for? No.
But they were a pretty good indication of where we are right now, how far we’ve come, and where we need to get to next.
More importantly, we came home with a TON of valuable data. We saw what’s working. We saw where we’re getting exposed. We saw the little things that are separating us from the level we’re trying to reach.
Now we get to put that information to work.
I also want to give a huge thank you to our coaches who gave their time and energy to these kids all weekend: Jared, Kyle, Francisco, John, Coffin, Morris, Garcia, Hillary, and Dave. Weekends like this are a massive undertaking, and I’m incredibly grateful to have such a great group of people investing in our wrestlers.
And most of all, I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with so many awesome wrestlers and families who continue to trust what we’re building at Broad Axe. Weekends like this make me even more excited about where this club is headed.
We’re proud of the progress, but we’re not satisfied.
Back to work this week. ⚔️
Choose to Fight. Train to Win. Live with Purpose.
