On the day before the start of the 2001 Senior World Team Trials, America's best wrestlers are busy getting ready for weigh-ins and conducting their final preparations for the most important domestic tournament of the year. Wrestling stars and their coaches are scattered all over Cincinnati, taking care of business in their own way.    However, at the same time in a busy gymnasium in the Cintas Center at Xavier University, the site of tomorrow's competition, hundreds of young athletes and talented coaches are taking advantage of the opportunity to improve themselves and rub elbows with the nation's best wrestling minds.    USA Wrestling is conducting its annual Developmental Camp for young athletes, as well as its annual National Coaches Education Coaches College. Over 150 wrestlers and 55 coaches are busy doing their thing, even before the first match for the World Team Trials event is held.    On Thursday morning, both the Developmental Campers and the Coaches College students attended a technique clinic by 1996 Olympic Champion Tom Brands, an assistant coach at the Univ. of  Iowa and one of the most intense competitors in American history. They are not there just learning about wrestling moves; they are also receiving the hard-nose philosophy and attitude that made Brands such a great champion and an outstanding coach.    In essence, Brands explained that winning and losing must be important to champions in wrestling, as well as to leaders in all aspects of life. He told the coaches and athletes to watch the World Team Trials competitors closely, to see how they reacted when they were defeated. Brands said that if it looks like a person does not appear personally moved by the loss, that perhaps wrestling is more like "a hobby" for them. It is the hard work and sacrifice that goes into preparing for wrestling that gives meaning to the final outcome, according to Brands.    "You are the future coaches and teachers for my kids," said Brands. "You are also the Congressmen and the business leaders. If winning and losing doesn't matter, then I don't want you working with my kids."    There is a lot of learning going on, much more than just the information delivered. Those who chose to come here this week are meeting and interacting with America's best coaches and athletes. Last night, the campers heard a moving message from 2000 Olympic Champion and national hero Rulon Gardner. The other Sydney Olympic Champion Brandon Slay is also scheduled to work with these students. Terry Brands, a two-time World Champion and Olympic medalist, is also on the schedule.    2001 U.S. World Team Coaches Mark Manning, Zeke Jones and Andy Seras are among the instructors, passing on their knowledge to others prior to learning what athletes will be on their teams this summer. USA Wrestling's professional coaching staff members such as National Coaches and Olympic Champions Steve Fraser and Kevin Jackson, plus USA Wrestling staff coaches Ike Anderson, Mike Duroe, Dave Bennett and Gordy Morgan are also here to help build future champions.    The learning continues tomorrow and throughout the weekend, as these campers become spectators at the World Team Trials event. The opportunity to learn from the best coaches in America, then see the best athletes in the nation put that knowledge into use, makes this one of the most valuable personal experiences available in wrestling. USA Wrestling has provided this opportunity at the 2000 Olympic Team Trials in Dallas, then again this year at the World Team Trials in Cincinnati. It is a great way to bring the sport's best together, and share the wealth with others motivated to excel.    After the Brands clinic, the Coaches College participants went into a seminar by Freestyle Resident Coach Mike Duroe on Peaking and Periodization.     The coaching students are a group of talented former athletes, active coaches on all levels, and leaders within wrestling. A quick look around the room features coaching students such as Mike Van Arsdale, a World Cup freestyle champion and Olympic Trials runner-up; Mohammad Babi, the Colorado/USA Wrestling State Chairperson; Scarlett Anderson, coach of the St. Cloud Sting women's wrestling team; Anatoly Nazarenko, former Greco-Roman World Champion and coach of the U.S. Army team; Eric Wetzel, a Greco-Roman World placewinner and World Military Champion; Darren Petty of the Army World Class Athlete Program; Tom Pavia, state leader from Delaware, Neil Dorrow, top international wrestling official; and many, many more. These 55 coaches will be working with hundreds and thousands of young athletes in the future, sharing this information with young athletes and other coaches.     The skills of the star athletes competing in the World Team Trials are nurtured through USA Wrestling's Developmental Camps for skilled youth, and Coaches Colleges for dedicated and talented coaches. The World Team Trials participants are the ultimate product of these very important clinics and camps. This education format, where the best teach those who are building the future, makes the United States among the best wrestling nations in the world.
