Though
we, as coaches, at Delaware Hayes are strongly committed to winning,
the following are our most important goals we have for every wrestler
in our program regardless of his/her level of athleticism:
1. To constantly improve
(in terms of technique, strength, and endurance) over the course of the
season. We, as coaches, have specific measures in place to help a
wrestler identify where he/she is at regarding technique, strength, and
endurance, and we work with each individual to set goals and devlop
plans to improve upon them.
2. To have fun, gain self-confidence, and feel a sense of belonging by being affiliated with our program and the other individuals in it.
3. To become young men of good character
by hearing from you, as coaches, about the importance of always being
honest and respectful; understanding how to sacrifice and prioritize;
being able to work hard and always give a maximum effort; learning how
to trust others and, in return, be trustworthy; being dilligent and
paying attention to details; and becoming an overacheiver in all that
he/she does.
4. To learn about sportsmanship and the importance of carrying oneself with class and dignity in victory and defeat.
5. To become great competitors
by learning how great preparation leads to success; by expecting
excellence from ourselves; by coping with and overcoming any sort of
adversity that comes our way; and by having the ability to stay
positive, believe in ourselves, and never quit even in the toughest of
times.
6. To become great leaders by being responsible, positive, and confident individuals
7. To learn about leading a healthy lifestyle through the training and nutritional demands that come with the sport
8. To delevop a lifelong love and appreciation for the sport of wrestling
