I think our guys are learning, though. Being patient isn't one of his strengths, Manning admits, but he's learning. The first couple of years they were not very tough. But all of a sudden they're in the top 10. You know that's the process, that it takes time.
Progress is sometimes ihard to measure in the early going.
Manning knows before much more headway can be made he has to increase the competition of in the practice room. We have to create that environment, bring in a lot of competitive kids at every weight class and let them get in the battle. You're going to have some tough guys emerge from that, some mentally tough guys. When you have tough guys in your weight class to challenge you, you'll be tough come game time. When you wrestle with tough guys everyday it's going to rub off on you.
