Well, I didn't even know this blog was still running! My best friend Mike McCullough is in charge of this as I am not very techy, but it has been 3 years since I posted something here.
Well, I am pretty disappointed. I'll keep this brief because I am pretty mad. I lost my first match to a German, I was very lackadaisical in my wrestling and lost out of the clinch, and then 2-2. ...
Hi guys. Good luck CHIMERA WRESTLING at California state this weekend. So somebody asked me a while ago how I 'manage' a competition, so I thought I would post some of the things I've learned over the years, ...
Zadravo, 'hello' in Macedonian. I'm pretty sure I don't say it right, but whatever. I am really enjoying my time in Macedonia. It is something of an honor to the macedonians for us to be here. ...
We arrived into Skopje (pronounced skoh-pee-ah) today to the Alexander the Great International Airport. It was not nearly as big as Medford, had one gate, 2 baggage carousels, so I'm not sure its namesake would be proud.
Just got to Internet. We stayed at a resort, very nice, but no internet and we were 4 km from the nearest town ( I know, I got stuck there and had to walk it). At least we ...
HA! I had forgotten my goal time of 18:30. Apparently I should have set it higher, because I ran a 18:27. That is a 6:09/mile pace which I was pretty happy with. I thought I was going ...
In case you didn't know, my blog was hacked last week. Basically, a virus got in, deleted all my posts since September (thank goodness it didn't get to August), and replaced them with some horror images/stories of its own. ...
So I really have been reading more. I finished another book this week, "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. He also wrote "Blink" and "The Tipping Point" and has some very interesting theories and studies in his books.
I recently have been getting some good reading done, I'm not exactly sure where I find the time, but it has been good for me. I just finished Tony Dungy's book, "Quiet Strength". I liked it, it made ...
I had a somewhat humorous circumstance happen last week. As some of you know, The Stanford Athletic Department has a huge endowment, and there is a group of very successful people who manage that endowment through various financial means ...
You are probably thinking, what does Condoleezza Rice have to do with Matt Gentry Wrestling? Nothing really, other than we worked out next to each other last week. Kind of worked out next to each other. As ...
I had somebody email to ask me what my thoughts are on peaking for the end of the year, so I thought that if I answered them, I might as well post it for everyone. Peaking is a tricky ...
Merry Christmas (albeit a bit late). I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable time. I know traveling was crazy, my sister had a heck of a time getting back to my parents' house in Oregon. ...
I just wanted to let everyone know that I made a big mistake. I said Phil went to Palo Alto HS, and I meant Gunn HS. I know he goes to Gunn, I'm not sure what I was ...
It has been quite a while since I posted something. I guess I thought my blog was more about my training, competitions, and travel experiences, but people have been asking me about my blog (here's a shout out ...
