adjustment caliber four match matches next ready step three tough
I think that's the other adjustment as a freshman, you have a tough match and you get up for that match and then the next three or four matches you don't have that caliber of competition. In college, any match you step on the match you, always need to be ready to go.
avoid bonus both close giving matches points
We just have to get bonus in the matches that we are favored and avoid giving up points in the matches that they are favored. Both matches are going to be close so every point is going to matter.
capable matches win winning wrestle
Some matches we need to win are 33 and 57, 65, 87, 97 and heavyweight. Those are some matches that we're capable of winning if we wrestle how we should.
anytime beaten capable certainly change guy match outcome overlook past risk
Anytime you've beaten a guy before, you're certainly capable of doing it again. The only risk is to overlook him. That can change the outcome of a match. We have to not look past a match because we've beaten someone before.

anyone beat confident fact feels fight gets learn level needs relaxing situation
It's not like he's not at the level he needs to be to compete, he's just relaxing in some situations. You like the fact that he's confident and feels he can beat anyone in any position. But when he gets in trouble, though, he needs to learn to fight to get out of the situation he's in.

It's one of those things where there's not a whole lot you can say. You feel like your world's crumbling down. He's going through a lot of emotions right now. It's difficult.

came five good kids loss note puts small somber urgency win wrestle
When we came back, we had a good talk. It's disappointing to get a loss when you have five kids win and five kids lose. It puts a negative, somber note on the weekend. We're a good team, and we didn't wrestle as well as we should have. We need to wrestle with a sense of urgency and make the small adjustments.
