Thing 6

I found YouTube to be a great website for me as a coach in the sport of wrestling. Though I know we are thinking just teachers, but our jobs are so much more than this. I have coached many kids in our state tournament and even a few in national competitions. YouTube has offered many instructional videos as well as live matches where the students can see a move in action. This becomes especially useful when international greats like Karelin of the Soviet Union are on film. The possibilities here are endless. I was teaching throws to my kids when I referenced Chris Taylor from the 1972 Olympics who weighed 430 pounds. Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EdNPSgxj9M.
