Last year, I think he relied a little bit too much on strength. This year his technique was better. He's really smooth. I didn't see him get in too much trouble. His ability is about that of a junior in high school.

He's always been a good wrestler, but I think he matured a lot more as a wrestler this year. A lot of times last year he tried to do fancy things and was on his back a lot more times last year. This year he was a lot more dominant and in better control.

He's a good kid with a good head on his shoulders. He works hard every day in practice. He's a two-year captain. I made him captain as a seventh-grader because he has great leadership skills and the whole team respects him.

We wanted to put a lot of pressure on the ball. Their size is their strength. We didn't always get the turnover, but they didn't always get comfortable in their offense.

My ground strokes are my strength. I rely on them to produce some winners and some errors by the other player. I like coming into the net since I'm taller. But I have to work on my volleys.

I let him drill and work out, but I said nope. He doesn't have full strength yet and is not healed up as much as I wanted.
