Slowly but Surely with the Knee, Rugters Thoughts and Fishing

The knee has been feeling better and better everyday and taking it slow might be the best medicine for it. I wrestled live for the first time since the trails the other day and it felt ok. I find myself a little weary in some situations and give up the position instead of risking hurting it again. It's getting stronger and more stable but definitely not 100 %. It should be ready to go by the next National Team camp in COS.

On a couple other notes, WOW!!!! This Rutgers situation is finally coming to a close and my boy Goodale will be taking over the helm. I think a huge congratulations is in order. I honestly think he is the perfect man for the job. He is a people person and no one knows NJ like him. Must I add his coaching accomplishments. I would have to say he is the best public HS coach in the state. The only thing thats gonna change now is he's on a bigger stage. He will start to build that program right away. The biggest thing that will help this program rise to the top is Alumni and fan support. Thats one thing here at Cornell we're blessed with and Rob and our coaching staff work very hard to keep it that way. With Jersey being one of the greatest wrestling states, when it comes to wrestlers and fans. Get behind Goodale and help him build that program.

The fishing has been going great. I've had the pleasure of having my sister in town, so any free time I've had I've been taking her fishing. We've went a couple of times in the past week. Some in the streams and the other day out on the lake with one of my wrestlers. She actually did ok in the streams. She caught a couple of smallies but blanked out on the BIG lake. Bummer for her, but me on the other hand landed a monster. 20 1/2", 4 lb. Large mouth. I know for some this is not big, but for me, mostly fishing in streams and the occasional lakes in MN for Walleye and Northern. This is the biggest bass I've ever caught. So let me brag a little. I'll have some pics up on the site for who ever wants to take a look. Enjoy and we'll meet again.
