He may leave the hospital as early as Thursday, October 18th for out patient care.      Georgia State Chairperson for USA Wrestling, Paula McGahee, recognizes the important role that Beasey Hendrix has played in developing wrestling in the state.  "We are fortunate that Beasey is still with us.  People that know Beasey have seen how much time and energy he has put into the sport of wrestling for all age levels", said McGahee, "He is willing to work with the very young as well as the elite wrestlers."      While Hendrix has a lot of work to do to recover from the physical trauma of having part of his leg removed.  He faces mounting medical bills because of a career change from high school teaching.  In order to maintain his health insurance, Hendrix needs to pay for his own health insurance.      To help Coach Hendrix meet his financial obligations during this difficult time, the Georgia state association of USA Wrestling has set up a trust fund for that purpose.  "We feel that it is important for people that know Beasey and his dedication to the sport to give back to him in his time of need," said McGahee.  All donations of any size would be greatly appreciated to help one of USA Wrestling's important volunteers.

According to Hendrix, "I've received numerous phone calls and messages from wrestlers and coaches that I've worked with through the years.  It means a lot to me to hear from all these people that care about me."      Having survived such a serious trauma, Hendrix knows that he has work to do to fully recover.

"Back in 1994, I was introduced to a concept called the "perfect match". I believe it was this concept that helped me turn the corner in my wrestling career. Up until this point, my best world placing was 8th place in the 1992 Olympic Games. Since I began using this concept, I have won three world medals including a World Title in 1995."
