I believe that participation for SC is up, and obviously based on these threads, awareness & passion are not in short supply. I believe that like others, a unified governing body is in need, or at least those governing bodies working in unison. A semi annual meeting with SCHSL, SC USAW, and SCYWA all working together towards the same goal of growing SC wrestling for....... THE KIDS! Throw in a few college coaches, and some club coaches and that is what we need to succeed. We have a ton of qualified people who can move the needle. Trent Goodale is the perfect example. Despite all of the piss & vinegar on these threads, I believe everyone wants the same thing. Let's take this opportunity to make a difference.
In reference to the numbers discussed, at NHSCA if you look at participants by state versus state population, SC is 7th out of 50. I am certain much to everyone's point, that the success rate does not match that participation rate, but that is what we are all trying to get to. Not for our glory, or profit, but for our kids. Look around, South Carolina is in prime position to make the change. Clemson Football, Coastal Baseball, USC Men's & Women Hoops, Limestone with a National Champ, the boost in population & economic growth in our state. Let's stop pointing fingers and unite. We can all meet at my house if you want, I don't give a shit. I'll make some barbecue & some sweet tea we can sit on the back porch and fix this.
Trent Goodale, Tony Forte, Ron Donlick, Mike Newton, Matt Oliver, Kyle Kimrey, Evan Moxie, Mica Hendricks, Cy Wainwright, Jeff Gibbins, Kelly Revells, Jerry Wigger, Marquise Camp, SCYWA, USA Wrestling, SCHSL, Jet Wrestling, Summerville Takedown, Eastside Youth Club, Mafia Wrestling, the list goes on & on. I am only an onlooker, parent, and supporter, but I'll do what I can. Let's actually make some progress.
Pressure will turn you into either dust or a diamond. Your choice.
