Hey everyone -
Just wanted to throw this out there. Flu is already rampant throughout our schools and if a kid hasn't gotten it yet, he will get it. With wrestling season starting it is going to get much worse. I know TOHK has been giving daps to opposing wrestlers for a couple years and even though I'm sure they did not start this because of the flu, we may all want to start doing this. I know during a normal tournament I will shake 150-200 kids hands. I'm a huge fan of sending our kids over to the other coach after a match because of the sportsmanship it teaches. If most coaches agree that this is a good idea we need to tell our wrestlers to expect this and why the coaches are doing this. Just an idea.
