I have read several negative threads on here and thought I would post something positive. Hope others will share some cool stories.
I remember when Bailey started wrestling his first tournament was at Byrnes High and he was in the 3rd grade. I am a dad that has no wrestling background but I was all he had to coach him that day. I knew so little that I was watching others warm up and instructing Bailey to do as they were. He was nervous and I was scared for him. A coach from White Knoll who had never met us before walked up and offered to show Bailey a few things. Of course we listened. Most of the things he showed us didn't stick but the impression he made did. Hats off to Coach Burris from White Knoll. He probably doesn't remember. I'm sure he has helped thousands of kids in his life but we remember. Showed us a positive side of wrestling and as you can see, we stuck around!!
Just trying to change the tone of the board with a positive post!!
