Weekly News for 10/19/2009 to 10/26/2009

*     Gear Order: Athletes have been given an order form for sweatshirts and pants. Although we are offering a hoodie, they will NOT be allowed to wear it during the school day. Anyone can order the gear, and it is provided at cost. The deadline for ordering is tomorrow Tuesday, October 20th. Gina Matthews is putting together a “parent-specific” order. Parents interested should contact Gina directly at Gina.Matthews@wylieisd.net

*     Grades: Progress reports will go out Friday, check your grades today and stay on top of your assignments this week.

*     Practice Time: Practices now start AT 6:30 a.m. Mat duties will alternate every week between upperclassmen and underclassmen. When it is your week for mat duty the start time is 6:00 a.m.

*     Nutrition/Sleep: It is amazing to see only 12 more practices on the calendar before our Inter-squad dual! It has been an outstanding preseason. We have become closer as a team, set outstanding goals, built strength and endurance, and have worked toward bettering our wrestling techniques.

Only our attitudes can hinder our season and our results. I know it is hard to wake up early when your body is sore. I know that sometimes you don’t feel like coming. That is normal! The difference between us and normal teams is that we will suck it up, put on a good attitude and make our practices count. Go to bed early (no later than 10:00 p.m.), eat healthy/well balanced meals, take a multivitamin, use a protein supplement (for muscle recovery), and drink water all the time. Taking these steps will keep you more alert throughout the day, and keep your body strong throughout our season.
