Every kid should get the opportunities the kids have here.

I was overwhelmed -- you just don't see kids read like that. I asked them where they went to school. They said Grosse Pointe Academy, so I came out here and checked it out. It's been a rough go, but they've helped out a lot with financial aid.

A lot of kids came and went over the years. But Parker kept coming back.

I was working out about 12 times a week. I was tired of seeing kids I had beaten (in other tournaments) wrestling in the state meet. I wanted to be there.

Last summer I gave free clinics to kids. I would like to have 20-40 to participate.

We want the kids to show up. We want to be accessible for any needy kid. It costs $300-400 to get started because the equipment is so expensive. We want to draw kids across boundaries to start relationships.
