Teacher Appreciation: Coach Boyesen

Though I only had him as a coach for one season, Coach Boyesen and his sport of choice taught me as much about myself as any coach before him. Tired of high school basketball, I decided to follow in the footsteps of several friends and go out for the wrestling team during my senior year. I did not know what I was getting myself into.

Coach Boyesen threw us right in there. It was immediately a do-or-die situation. I had to toughen up and learn fast, or get killed out there on the mat. Despite being 15 pounds underweight, Coach threw me into the starting line up, having confidence in me to get it done and help the team with minimal experience.

Always surprisingly stoic, Coach should have his picture next to the words discipline and hard work. As a man of around 40 years of age, he is still in better shape than most of his athletes. He made every practice as exhausting and difficult as possible to get us ready for the ring. I had never been forced to push myself so hard. I never even knew that I could.

Without that last minute discipline at the end of my high school career, I would still not know the meaning of pushing oneself to the edge.

Thanks Coach Boyesen, for knowing how much we can take before we do!
