Commitment Over The Holiday Break

Practice during the holiday break is always difficult because attendance can be low for one reason or another.  Family plans out of town, family plans in town, laziness…you name it.

There are also some great things about practice over the holiday break!  First, you know the guys who want to put in the hard work.  Success doesn’t come easy and it takes dedication and commitment to the team, to practice, and to yourself to be successful.  Second, we frequently have Millbrook Wrestling alumni come visit.

Today we were able to spend a couple hours with 2012 graduate Lewis Crumsey.  You’ll find Lewis’s name plastered all over our Records page, partly because Lewis knew what it took to be successful.  He ended up with 106 wins for his career and placed 5th at the 2012 State Tournament.  We talked today at practice about that feeling you get when you know your hard work has paid off.  For Lewis, that moment was at the 2012 State Tournament when he secured his placement with a sudden victory win over his opponent from Butler High School.  After the win, Lewis let out a gutteral scream of joy as he knew this was the moment he worked so hard for:

Success is a result of many things.  Time commitment, dedication and sacrifice to name a few.  We all want to be successful but are we willing to put in the time and effort required?  Work hard over the holiday break and your dedication will not go unrewarded!
