I coach baseball in the spring. Also a great sport. I am really proud of those athletes who play other sports. I really respect the three sport athlete who manages to do what they want in wrestling and still play other sports.
A great example is Eric Luedke, who loves wrestling and pretty much does it year around, but still runs cross country in the fall and plays tennis in the spring. I think we can specialize too much and need to encourage our wrestlers to do kids after the season and hit some freestyle tourneys in the summer, but also realize the benefits of playing other sports.
