Maroon Wrestling Mission Statement

 

The Champaign Central Wrestling program’s mission will be to:

Promote academic excellence while learning the sport of wrestling and what the sport can teach you about life. The team must take ownership of their path with the program, the basic team rules and the direction they want to go. Learning the sport, what the sport can teach the wrestlers and life skills are as important as winning. The training will be positive; the wrestlers must find it challenging, feel self-worth, have fun and learn what it takes to be successful in the process. All wrestlers must learn the importance of how to be a tough competitor and a class act at the same time. We will strive to develop in every team member the skills to successfully handle the obstacles of life outside of wrestling, be modest with their victories, understand their defeats and learn to make the sacrifices that wrestling and life sometimes requires doing. Success in life and wrestling championships will be won and lost in the classroom, in our practice room and through their competition.

 

Team Vision

 

The preparation involved for the individuals and the team is for the Regional, Sectional and State Honors. Our vision is to prepare for the end of the season, build a respected program, while accomplishing success in academics. Our team needs to be a strong dual meet team, capable of beating any team in the State. We will regard regular season dual meets as extra practice, as a time to try new holds and maneuvers; as a time for our wrestlers to learn how to compete; a time to gain experience and confidence; a time to find out what works and what doesn’t for each individual. The team is to be offensively minded, wrestle hard with relentless attack for 6 minutes, be mentally tough, determined and be a class act, win or lose. Individuals and team will become more self-motivated in their thinking, feel self-worth and take ownership of the team. They should have a sense of contribution to their teammates and the team. The team will build strong confident leaders within our school and community through this program.
