Dziewa Wrestling Room Tour

8/30/2009

Here's a short video tour of my wrestling coach's wrestling room back in PA. My coach's name is John Dziewa. I'm real lucky to know him.

My friend Mike Denny took me to John because I needed help and to basically get beat on and to learn how to train and become a real wrestler instead of just someone who wrestles. I learned so much from those guys, they changed my life and helped me discover what makes wrestling the greatest sport in the world.

John has a son, Josh Dziewa who'll be a senior in high school this year. When I first met Josh he was 3 years old and since then he's been an absolute animal on the mat and he still has a passion for the sport, it's great to see. I'm real proud of him and I have supreme confidence in him. He has the work ethic and the attitude of a champion and that's why he earns yellow medals.

That's what America needs, that's what wrestling needs - more hammers with the courage to go out there and work hard and look to dominate, put on a show and win the yellow medal, not just "get a medal" or be an All-American or a world medalist or even an Olympian. We need more wrestlers who are going after the yellow medals and nothing less. It takes a lot of courage to do that, and yeah it's a lot harder to do it and it takes a lot more work but that's the only way wrestling in America is gonna grow as a sport and that's how we're gonna catch up to the Russians, and it starts at the youth level with the mentality. (OK I got a little fired up there, let me stop there before I keep rambling on and on.)

Here's some of what Josh Dziewa has accomplished so far (and he ain't done yet by a long shot)...

* 2009 Fargo Junior National Champion at 135 lbs.

* 2007 Super 32 Champion

* 2007 Cadet Nationals 4th Freestyle (Fargo, ND)

* 2007 Rocky Mountain National Champion & Outstanding Wrestler

* 2008 FILA Cadet Nationals 4th

* 2-Time War At The Shore Outstanding Wrestler

* 2-Time PA State Qualifier

* 2009 Junior National Champion, Freestyle, 135 lbs (Fargo, ND)

* Currently 91-6 after 2 high school seasons
