A RUDIS Wrestling Podcast: Make Your Bed: Never Ever Quit

You Will Always Regret it

This episode Cary Kolat and Matt Dernlan discuss Ch. 10 “Never Ever Quit” from the book Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World by Admiral William H. McRaven. This chapter talks about not giving up on your dreams and having the fortitude to stick to the process. Refusing to give up and standing tall against the odds makes life what you make of it. Kolat talks about the part in the book during SEAL training where the drill instructor tells the trainees if they quit now they will live with that regret forever. Kolat thinks this is a powerful statement and one many people don’t bring up when motivating others to not give up.

Know Who Is Coaching Your Children

By Nancy Justis, Iowa Youth Sports Initiative
Youth sports coaches come in all shapes and sizes.
Most youth coaches are volunteers until they reach the “elite” travel teams. Even then, they won’t make a living coaching these teams. Most are coaching because they have a son or daughter playing and they want to be involved. Some are coaching because they love the sport or want to teach life lessons to young people. Unfortunately, there are the good, the bad and the … well, you get the drift. Everyone knows there are “bad” coaches who bully, yell and coach for their own selfish reasons. How do parents make sure their child’s coach is the person who has the kids’ growth and development at the forefront?
Gordon MacLelland of “Working With Parents in Sport” lists seven qualities parents should look for in a coach.
1. Do they care? Not just about winning, but about the kids. Do they acknowledge each child equally? Do they encourage each and every player?

Day 5 Wrap from the Cadet World Championships: US women place third with five medals

The Top Storyline
They didn’t get exactly what they wanted, but a strong and balanced performance at the 2019 Cadet World Championships left the American women’s team smiling. Half of the team earned medals: Sterling Dias (40 kg), Cristelle Rodriguez (49 kg), and Skylar Hattendorf (57 kg) won silver; Kylie Welker (61 kg) and Amit Elor (69 kg) scored bronze. 
The US team finished third with 106 points behind a powerful Japanese team that compiled 195 points with six champions. China finished in second with 127 points and one champion. 
Although she finished with a silver medal, Sterling Dias was the talk of the tournament. Her finals match against Komal Komal of India was a 4-4 shootout. Dias scored the first takedown, Komal the second. Dias scored the third takedown then Kamal scored the deciding takedown late in the match to win on criteria. The 2018 Cadet World bronze medalist moved one spot up the podium from last year but she moved into first place as the most popular wrestler at the tournament — male or female.
