Well i said i would hop on here and give an update as to how the weekend went, so im staying true to my word.

As im sure many of you noticed, i was upfront with the Jets on the importance of my wrestling and one way or the other both Tommy and I weren’t planning on staying past monday night. It was three days to showcase our skills… (i would say natural skills but i dont believe in ‘natural skills’) So mainly what they were looking for was our foot speed, and most importantly balance. Everyday we went from 6 am until 10pm learning everything you could imagine in the football world; plays, strategies, calls with different formations from the defense, and actually a lot about the press and displaying a positive image… which is quite tricky actually, you would be surprised how the press phrases questions to get arrogant sounding responses even when its not intended that way (i saw how that happened to a guy and will likely never believe an arrogant quote i see again, you only here a response… not the question). Then twice a day we took to the field working plays, foot drills, bag drills, conditioning, even once a guy who trains pro boxers came in and we did a boxing workout which was a lot of fun. All in all it was a great experience and i would do it again in a heartbeat.

I’ve recently came across a great site for High School wrestling fans. It’s called Takkle.com and it’s a free social sports networking site.

Now I’ve checked out a lot of these types of sites in the past, but Takkle seems to stand above the rest. It’s not some cheap knockoff, it’s a very well put together site and it’s worth a check out.

Not only can you share pictures and videos, network and trash talk, but you can also be seen by collages. It’s never been easier to show your talent.

If you join, look WrestlingPod up.

I’ve recently updated the platform at the Wrestling News is run on.  We are now running WordPress 2.1.  If you come across any issues, please comment below or head over to our contact form and let me know.

Thanks!

Thanks to Lifeboy for the wrestling photograph.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) now has a site to network and find other fans, fighters and just hang out: MyMMASpace.com.

You can check out WrestlingPod’s basic profile if you want and feel free to connect with me. They also have a cool MyMMASpace.com Link Directory & Exchange area.

I haven’t used the service for much yet, however it looks, feels and acts like MySpace without all the un-interesting people.

Today we are updating our wrestling news feed to be hosted with Feedburner. There should be nothing that you have to do, but be aware that if any issues do come up, update your feed URL or let us know.

New feed URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Amateur-Wrestling-News

The feed also now shows photos that I’ve recently uploaded to the WrestlingPod Flickr account. Thought a few images might spice it up a little.

I’m working on creating some new desktop background graphics for all the amateur wrestling fans. Today I release my first, ‘Tis the Season.

I hope to design more wrestling backgrounds in the upcoming weeks, but that’s where I need your help. What would you like to see created? Do you have any gear or action sots that you can donate? You must have the rights to use them so don’t give me someone else’s photos.
