IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE STUDENTS FIRST!
WRESTLING CAN OPEN MANY DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY BUT THOSE DOORS CAN CLOSE QUICKLY IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE GRADES. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IN HIGH SCHOOL, YOU ARE NO GOOD TO YOUR TEAM IF YOU ARE INELIGIBLE. WORK AS HARD IN THE CLASSROOM AS YOU SHOULD IN THE WRESTLING ROOM AND YOU WILL FIND SUCCESS.
IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO BE A GOOD SPORTSMAN. WIN LIKE A MAN AND LOSE LIKE ONE TOO. KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME AND SHOW EVERYONE THAT YOU HAVE CLASS.
IF YOU NEED HELP WITH YOUR SCHOOLWORK, BRING IT TO PRACTICE AND WE'LL HELP YOU WITH IT. IT IS VERY SAD WHEN YOU HEAR THAT A GOOD ATHLETE CAN'T GET IT DONE IN THE CLASSROOM. ALSO, THERE IS NOTHING THAT MAKES YOU PROUDER THAN HEARING OF SOMEONE THAT USED TO STURUGGLE SHOWING ACADEMIC SUCCESS BECAUSE OF HIS HARD WORK.
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT
"COLLEGES DON'T WANT ATHLETES, THEY WANT STUDENT/ATHLETES."
THE K-9 UNIT THANKS YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO THE YOUTH OF THE GREATER NORRISTOWN AREA.
WE ARE GREATFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED US AND WE PROMISE TO ALWAYS DO OUR BEST TO MAKE YOU PROUD OF OUR EFFORT.
HE ALWAYS FINDS A RESON WHY WE CAN SUCCEED.
HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL BEHIND THE K-9 UNIT IN IT'S BIRTH.
HE HAS BEEN A DRIVING FORCE EVER SINCE.
WITHOUT BRETT WELLS THERE WOULD NOT BE A K-9 UNIT.
WE ARE FOREVER GREATFUL FOR ALL THAT HE DOES FOR THE YOUTH
OF THE GREATER NORRISTOWN AREA!
TO ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE K-9 UNIT THAT WILL BE COMPETING ON HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY THIS YEAR.
AT PRESENT I SEE THESE NORRISTOWN PAL WRESTLERS STARRING AT LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS THIS YEAR.

ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS HE TAUGHT ME ABOUT WRESTLING WAS:
"YOU ARE NOT GOOD
UNTIL YOU CAN PUT GOOD KIDS ON THEIR BACK!"
I DON'T KNOW WHO FIRST SAID THIS. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME BUT I"M NOT SURE. OVER THE YEARS IT HAS BEEN VERY TRUE IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE ESPECIALLY SPORTS. I USE IT SO OFTEN THAT I SHOULD GET CREDIT FOR IT.
