A

Welcome to another edition of athletes in action, I'm Wiley Baker. Today we saw to South River High School in Edgewater, trying to pin down just exactly what's happening with the Seahawk wrestling team and head coach, John Classen gir three.

B

Year old switch 12, the.

A

Seahawks are spreading their wings excited and expecting a lot from their flock of wrestlers as they defend their 2012-2013 county title. We.

B

Have a core group of good kids coming back, we have about five six kids that saw a significant amount of varsity time last year that had success and the rest of our line of about eight nine of them will be first-year varsity, kids. We.

C

Lost a lot of our starting seniors last show that graduated, but this year we have may think five or 16 years starting and it looks like we got a. We have a lot of younger kids, but we're looking to be very good petev team this year can't.

D

Be more excited, this is definitely going to be a good year. Second year wrestling I'm more than excited for what we're going to be doing this year. Preparation.

A

Is incredibly important to being a successful wrestler, you.

B

Don't warm up, you get hurt fast, you know, and the nutrition aspect I think if they really realize and it's a harder sell than anything else, you can get them to work hard. You can get them to do the extra work on y'all season. You can do the lifting and the wrestling and so forth. Eating right is the hard thing I've.

E

Cut out completely junk foods like all even eating is like salads, vegetables, fruits and like chicken and fish, and just honestly makes you feel better because you aren't in jet, like taking in all the bad stuff. So I still feel great. But.

C

Staying healthy, like nutrition is a big part of it, trying to eat right and stuff like that and always are like stretching, and things like that, and just all being warm for your matches not going out cold that helps, keep it down. Injuries, eating.

F

Healthy is a big part at the healthier eat, the better you feel on the map you eat, candy bars, you're, just going to feel sick to your head, you're going to feel slower, but if you're eating healthy foods say salads and fruit, you just you feel like you have energy and you can. You can perform better on the map coach.

A

Plussing or counseling as captain's to lead the Hawks to another good season. We.

B

Talked the kids every day about our expectations about practice every day about how you act in a classroom how you act in the community, you know I rely on those guys, these guys in particular to set that tone. Do the right thing set the example for their peers in the room in the classroom so forth so senior.

C

Leadership is huge, it's an honor to be like a leader on like the team, and it really helps like I, just like helping out with the younger kids and like showing them what to do and just how to improve themselves. Definitely.

D

Working with less experienced people, it makes me feel better because I know I'm going to leave something for the school to build off of I.

G

Just always work hard, I lead by example. Just never. If you never quit, never show any weakness, then the people, the younger people, won't either and they'll learn how to be a south of a wrestler. It always work hard having.

A

The strong mental game as student athletes on and off the mats is expectation in edgewater, most.

B

Of our kids are going to four-year colleges, so the expectations built in before they come in the room. You know a lot of it. You know that we reinforce that with the whole idea, one you got to have the grades arrested if.

G

South of wrestling is important to you. Then school works important to you because we all know we can't wrestle if we don't excel in school. So we do we it's part of what we need to do to wrestle. So we get a duck south.

A

River fans are truly behind their Hawks last.

D

Year, I recognized a lot of people in the crowds every day and they were always very excited. They were yelling.

F

And screaming I think it's the best feeling in the world and we got a full stand out there like everyone's watching us. It just feels great every you know you have fans, you just feel confident everyone's cheering for you, it's just it's just a big fan boost I, can't wait for this upcoming year. We have we're. Gonna, have tons of people that I don't know. I just can't wait.

A

Headlock another great season for Seahawk wrestling so right.

B

Now all we're focused on is getting all 35 of our guys buying into our our philosophy and that's working hard every day being physically mentally tough, not making excuses. They do that they buy into that. The winning will take care of itself in our season will go well. Definitely.

E

Just winning counties and winning regionals is my goals and then, like I, just want a place in the top three and say not be happy about that. Being.

C

On repeat county champions, again, probably region champions and going to this state tournament again, maybe make a successful season we'll.

D

Make it a better year is going further and just keep pushing, making us stronger and definitely setting limits for the kids next year to just break and keep moving past a successful.

G

Seasons winning calories again when the region's again and go to the state tournament. If.

F

We place up where we got last year or even better. That would make me the happiest kid ever and I know that would do the same for some of the kids on our team and for myself. My goal is to win it all this year. Can't wait I'm, trying to push myself hard thanks.

A
