The grind doesn't stop for the Sun Devil wrestling team, they are pinning down all their matches! This years wrestling coach is the one and only, Coach Carlson. He has pushed the wrestlers to meet their goals and surpass them everyday. Coach Carlson was born in Canada and moved to California in the 7th grade. He attended San Jacinto High School in San Jacinto, CA, and continued his education at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. Now he works at Eldorado High School as the wrestling coach of the 2018-2019 school year. Coach Carlson motivates his athletes to do better by having the establish goals for themselves. However, his athletes are not the only ones who are being motivated, he said “When I see a wrestler succeed, especially a new wrestler, that's all the motivation I need.” Before a game, Coach Carlson uses different activities for each wrestler to get them hyped up. Since wrestling is such an individual activity, each wrestler has their own way of getting ready some even including discipline and direct instructions. Before every wrestling match, Coach Carlson says, “I tell them what I think they need to hear for them to do better.” Without a doubt, the 2018-2019 wrestling team had an amazing season and Coach Carlson did a great job in helping his athletes accomplish the goals they set. Next year can only get better for the team with Coach Carlson motivating them along the way.
