Coach Benton's Philosophy:
I am here to win, plain and simple, but I want to do more than just have a winning program. I want to develop a relationship with these students - athletes that will last forever. I want to help turn them into young men. Young men that will know how to overcome adversity, how to respect people, and what it takes to be successful in life.
I believe in Faith!
I believe in doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do!
I believe in people who are willing to work hard!
I believe that Goals are eventually achieved by those who never quit!
I believe that things can turn around quickly and success can be attained with a great level of humility!
I believe that WE - Bluestem Wrestling - can and will achieve great things when we BELIEVE it WILL happen!
When WE believe in each other!
When WE believe in ourselves!
When WE believe in the Work!
