Help players develop a lifelong love for a sport

By John Engh

When I was younger, I couldn’t wait for the next season to start, and it didn’t matter for what sport. Baseball was my first choice, but basketball, football, soccer, and wrestling were all big in my house. My two older brothers were big into wrestling. And while my mom was the real jock in the house, having played two varsity-level sports in high school and college, my dad always loved that there were wrestlers in the house. On any given night there were “wrestle-offs” on the living room shag carpet. Trust me when I say we all had our fair share of carpet burns!
