Bullets Going Hard

The Bullets' first week of practice has ended. Coaches Lovello and Adam are using this time to get guys get in shape for the Bullet Invitational, only 13 days off.  Brandywine has always put a strong emphasis on conditioning.  This year is no different. Hallway sprints and stair climbs test the wrestlers' will power. Push-ups, sit ups, drilling and live wrestling have become the daily grind . Nothing gets you in shape for wrestling like...well, wrestling.  They leave tired but not defeated. The veterans embrace the grind and keep an eye on the 6 newbies to see how they respond. The five freshmen and one new sophomore may feel the heat but none are daunted. Hard work and high expectations are nothing new for these guys. Check out the video of freshmen Hunter Gimbor and Kyle Caskie drilling hard and aiming high.
