Gilmore's Take: Hudson

It is hard to have an inexperienced team and not get caught up in the whole picture.  If you do get caught up in the whole picture and you just look at our record it might look as though we are not doing very well.  We have been stressing to our guys that they need to wrestle in the moment, we need to focus on individual performances.  If we succeed in the individual performances then the whole picture will be a little more pleasant to look at.  We have also stressed that they need to expect to win, not just hope that it happens.  I felt that we did a pretty good job of this last night at Hudson.  If you look at the score 49-22, it looks like we did not perform very well.  On the other hand, if you look at the individual performances we went out and fought for 6 straight minutes.  For the most part, I saw our wrestlers fighting hard for positions, and trying to attack.  Yes we made mistakes and our technique was not perfect, but we had attacked for the whole match.  Now that we have the mentality of not backing down, technique will start to fall into place.  We have come a long way this year.  We have a long way still to go, but there is a lot of progress being made.  We now get back into the practice room and continue the grind, and continue moving forward.  To be a champion it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down.  It matters how many times you get back up and step onto the line.
