Going over the details with the wrestlers

This morning most of the wrestlers in Wrestling With Hunger and a number of support volunteers came out to a meeting at our wrestling school (The Slam Academy).  The energy was awesome!

We went over just how the schedule of matches will be created, when and what will be served for meals, shared media exposure and generally getting pumped up for the big event which is less than two weeks away.

I still am blown away by the support these wrestlers are giving to his endeavor.  Giving up school, work, time from their family, etc. in order to help the hungry in our community.

Also - did I mention a documentary crew was there to film?  I will have to go into more detail in a future post.

I gave out a list of “stuff” the wrestlers should pack for their three day adventure.  Part of the requirements of the world record is that the wrestlers cannot leave the venue.

Did I miss anything from the list below?
