I almost missed a big wrestling event with 6 teams that was taking place
about 4 miles from my home last weekend. And I'm a wrestling coach. No one
told me! Don't complain about your lack of community support if you're not
doing anything to earn it.
What are you doing today to make it easy for me to be a fan of your
program? Did you send an email newsletter? How about update your Facebook
Page to let me know when your next wrestling match is? Did you call or
email the media?

Did you ever notice how fans react when wrestlers acknowledge them?  It's probably most noticeable at NCAA's when wrestlers acknowledge their fans with a wave, a fist pump or a point.  They go nuts!  I get chills watching wrestlers throw some love to those that support them.  Being a fan is a thankless job.  Sure, they're fans because they enjoy it.  But what if we gave them a little piece of the limelight more often?  

Wrestlers.... share your glory.  Acknowlege your fans and they'll love you for it!
