Thanks to all who could attend last night, it was great to meet you.  A few items to recap:

1. Philosophy/Guidance document is posted to Files, expect a revision to be published with in-season specifics as we get closer to tryouts in early November

2. First off-season workout will be on August 9, 4:30-5:30 in the weight room, 5:30-6:30 in the aux gym.  Make sure to bring a full water bottle. I can take additional physicals or concussion training as the entry ticket to the workouts if you haven't already submitted. 

3. I will put a spreadsheet with wrestler data collected today in Files, please give it a look to make sure the data is correct.  If not contact me at edwardrj@pwcs.edu.

4. If you have any questions/concerns, contact me anytime at the email above. 

Thanks again for your time.  

Reminder, if you are available, interest meeting next Tuesday, July 27 at 6:00PM in Commons 1.  

If you have them, please bring your physicals and concussion training.  I will distribute my initial guidance/expectations document and outline the plan for off-season conditioning.  

If you can't make it, feel free to reach out for an introduction, edwardrj@pwcs.edu.
