Ok if you do not know who I am, I am one of the 4 co-creators of Wrestlers 4 Christ, along with my dad Harry, Doug V and obviously Micheal.
In response to everything posted before the last comment (flubber): Honestly, this group was created for those who wanted to say a little, short pre-match prayer. We decided to hold it in the center of the mat and the day we started, we have not had one single problem with it. I know it may be a coincidence, but 2 years ago at Regionals when we started this thing, there were zero injuries through our Regional and through the 321a State Tournament. Correct me if I'm wrong but that seems pretty powerful to me. I'm not trying to make a believer out of any of you by stating that, but look at me with a straight face and tell me that isn't one of the coolest things you've ever heard of in sports. 1000's of matches and not one single injury?
This is a student-athlete led prayer. It does not push someone to go out and pray for something they may not believe in.
Last thing and I'll let ya guys keep debatin about it. While I spoke the prayer at most, if not every meet we competed in, the entire gym, no matter what the people were doing and no matter what was on there mind, those people/wrestlers/officials/ and even the stands filled with parents would get silent and you could hear either my voice or micheals throughout the entire gym. Even if you don't agree with it, you got to admit it is a very powerful and very very cool event to spectate and take part of.
Thanks guys and Hope soon everyone can just appreciate what we are doing.
