Since I haven’t been putting a newsletter out on a regular basis, I think I’ll try a new approach. I love this sport and I have so much to talk about that I need to share my thoughts more often. I’m not sure if there will be any pattern or just what’s on my mind while I’m thinking about the past, the future and the current. What’s next? Tune in…Learn from the Past, Improve the Future
I’ll say this, we need to learn from the past and apply it to the future. If this happens it doesn’t take long and the current will be good, hopefully great. If you keep waiting for next year, then your application of the past to the future needs to be adjusted. Once the current is good, keep the same model going with needed minor adjustments in making it even better. I’m going to give credit for these past four sentences to a former teacher and assistant wrestling coach of mine. I recently read a small writing of his and I interpreted information within the material. Bill Blake is the author and I thank him for his writing.

After reflecting on the "Learn from the past, Improve the Future" I am torn from choosing a direct stance on the issue. Yes we need to learn from the past so we can improve the future. That is akey ingrediant in success. The question I pose to Coach Gable is if we all do this, aren't we only being reactive to our sport? Now I don't have Coach gable's experience, but I would guess that when we are proactive, or innovative, we take things to a new, higher level. I think this area can be an imperatrive element for our sport to continue to grow, develop and have success.

Learning from the past is something everyone needs to figure out how to do. Doesn't sound that hard, but some find it very difficult.
What I think Dan was stating, was that in order for a person to be successful, you must learn from past experiences but be concious of what is occuring at the moment. Soon what happens in the moment will become past, and in order for that event to become pressident, the actions of the moment must be successful, with the infuence of past experiences. Then again, such a vague quote also leaves each person who reads it to interepret the subject matter as they see fit.
