In 2005, I thought that it was about time that we started the conversation: about who we are, and where we came from:
Time to differentiate ourselves from Emma Lazarus' "... huddled masses, longing to be free..." (of the 20th Century).
Recognizing that, more often than not, perception creates a reality of it's own.

Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 10:23AM There are several fundamental axioms that most successful student athletes, and coaches, share:
1. To be the best, you must be "tougher than the rest":
2.Respect is earned on the "mat".
3. There is no I in TEAM!
These are universal truisms, that apply irrespective of discipline; it doesn't matter whether or not you're talking baseball, wrestling, swimming, or basketball.
