Eagles Wrestling - Parkway Christian Academy
Wrestling is a unique sport in that it provides both physical and mental development. We are a club that provides wrestling instruction for youths ages 9-18. Our purpose is to support wrestling at all levels, promote the sport to the public and develop amateur athletes for wrestling competition in the local area.
The sport of wrestling can help young people develop important qualities such as self esteem, sportsmanship, work ethic and leadership skills.
Our emphasis involves the fundamentals that will help each wrestler with physical, mental, and spiritual growth by developing the traits of effort, technique, character, and leadership.
EFFORT: give everything you got to everything you do, never do things halfway, do everything like Jesus asked you to do it
TECHNIQUE: practice does not make perfect, it makes permanent! perfect practice makes perfect!
CHARACTER: be like Jesus - He should be increasing and we should be decreasing; people can see your fruit - what are they seeing
LEADERSHIP: “Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen.” Leadership is about the choices you make and the actions you take!
effort - technique - character - leadership
So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, “Let go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.
Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.”
Genesis 32:24-28
