Or college. These guys were characters man.
I guess I'll start with my coach always telling us that he use to break into the gym late at night to get extra workouts in back when he was in college. Then he said that he beat up 5 frat guys who approached him after a party, one at a time. He also had an autographed photo of Mark Coleman lifting weights on his door and at least 3 big bags of powdered gatorade mix on his desk at all times.
Got any good stories?
cool story bro.
Thanks player
even though I didn't take wrestling in high school, one of the wrestling coaches was also the strength training coach. He used to quote Blues Brothers all the time and if someone was getting out of line, he'd merely go grab a couple 80# dumbbells and curl them while staring at the guy.
I think the wrestling coaches used to go and smoke pot in the janitor's closet while we were running laps in the inside track.
They also called the sissies, "pinkos."
If you build a wrestling story thread, OMA(tm) will come.
Clever trap, bro.
This one time at wrestling camp...............

They use to give the goth kids a hard time in gym class too. Tell them to hit the weights so they can make something of themselves one day.
My high school wrestling coach was actually a very cool guy with a lot of good understanding about working out and nutrision.
But i was too busy trying to smoke cigs and fuck stoner chicks to be bothered.
Sort of wish now that i would not have half assed it the whole time.
My college coach was a nut. I have tons with him. Old school wrestler, put on huge weight, coached/fished and hunted. That was all he did, or go to his office in the weight room with a whole roasted chicken to do battle. Really though he knew wrestling, he just couldn't do it anymore.
Well this guy is well known for his driving ability or lack of. When going on away duals or tourneys he would always have to drive us in a people mover (not really a bus, not really a van). Anways my first year there I'm okay with coaches driving, hell in juco the coaches let the kids drive the vans home so no biggy. Well I'm trying to take a nap, and I notice we are starting to swerve. At first I thought well it is Kansas and we are on open road perhaps it is the wind. This thought was crushed moments later as the van jerked back to "our" lane, throwing some poor souls to the floor. Now this had me worried. I couldn't understand what the fuck was going on and how come no one else is worried. I look to the driver's seat to make sure my overweight coach is still alive....he was, and reading a huge book. I'm thinking wtf? Upperclass men had to tell me that this was normal, and that if he didn't have a book he would go buy a magazine. We tried one trip to play some UFC dvds on the TV in the mover but he warned us that he wouldn't watch the road at all if we did this so....we never attempted to play any movies. Fin
LOL at the bus story.
My coach was also the biology teacher. He'd point out the scrawniest kids and say: genetics determine a lot of things like human growth. See, Billy here for example will never be on the starting offensive line of Michigan Wolverines. Then laugh hysterically.
We were pricking fingers one day in class to get blood samples, then view them under a microscope. This one kid literally turned pale white when he approached him and coach ripped on the kid every 10 minutes for the next hour. Today he would probably get a lawsuit for harassment, but he called him every name in the book for not taking a sample.
