When I wrestled in High School I was one of the "Uncoachables" or "Hard Headed that couldn't be reached"
I argued and B*tched about how my coach just didn't " understand" me. He was having none of it. I was told to leave the room more times than I like to mention.
I never advanced far in the post season, but he always kept on me every year and practice. At the time if you asked he was not my favorite person.
Fast forward to after graduation and I'm in basic training for the US Army. - every difficulty or obstacle mental or physical I had To over come during my time of service I always heard is voice in my head from the wrestling room "If you can do this, you can do anything. Normal people don't willingly put themselves through this."
I may not have been a great wrestler, but I like to tell people who don't know the sport that it helped me to be a better person and father.
"THANK YOU COACH BRUCE SHERIFF" RIP
