go to best buy and tell them you want to hook your computer up to your tv(should be a newer flat screen)...they'll give you 2 hook ups. 1 for sound and 1 for video. wont be on a dvd, but at least everybody wont be huddled around a laptop.

How can I download this to burn to a cd/dvd and show to my son's wrestling club? I can see that I can embed it and share it but that only gives me the link to the video on flowrestling's server. I know it states that you cannot download flowrestling's videos from this site in the faq. I'm just wondering if any of you know of a separate source to download this directly. The wrestling coach asked that I get it on dvd/cd for the team because this is a great inspiration for the young wrestlers - 1st through 6th grade and the high school team.

Hope he can do 4X in college - it will be great for the sport. I watched all of Metcalf's 4 championships in Michigan - and he did it at 130 as a freshman. I think Metcalf burned himself out to some extent and really has not moved up a weight class since his senior year in HS. Taylor will have the advantage of being able to move up in weight and let the strength catch up to his body - and he will redshirt a year and gain experience wrestling unattached. His technique with the added strength will make him a formidable opponent in college. We'll see how he starts out in that quest in about 18 months.

funny to say he was 'so bad' when he won the last tournament in his first year of wrestling. maybe bad relative to the rest of your career but come on davie.

David says, "I don't think the crowd was favoring one guy over the other."

That's funny.

I just saw David at a Ken Chertow camp and he is so amazing! He wrestles everyone and I would be proud to know him. He will never see 141# and may not see another year at 157#. He is all of that!

Show this to any of your kids that need motivation...I have wrestled all my life, and am currently 34 years old, and I even get pumped watching this. If this doesn't make you wanna train on the mat and in the gym like a madman, just quit wrestling and join the band.

Wow incredible story of a great kid and wrestler. I can't wait to see this kid wrestle next year in college. Sure would have liked to watch the grajales match between the two. I'd bet the house on Taylor. Class act

i watched taylor many times in HS. Class Act and wish him the best. I was at the St. Ed's gym his Soph. year when clark beat him, i think he decked him. this show's taylor's growth when he manhandled him as a jr. in ironman finals. Regarding college, remains to be seen. Too many 4X & 3X champs don't measure up on the next level. David Craig - Brandon FL, CP Schlatter just to name a couple. Taylor will be a 165 lb in college - Alton brothers will be 149 & 157. Taylor will go against Men at this weight. He should do well but to say 4X NCAA...way too premature. Should be AA but to say even a 1X NCAA champ...cart before the horse.

Good call Twilly. My incredible Pops went to EVERY sporting event I ever participated in: soccer as a kid (mistake), little league, Hs football, baseball and wrestling. The one baseball game he couldn't get to, I go yard. Karma right? Parents are the most giving, incredible influences on our athletes. Involve them best possible. I know I'll have a parent/coach/wrestler meeting end of week 2 of the coming season.

This really shows how dedicated parents can be too. My dad would never have taken me to Tulsa, OK for a tournament. It's definitely a different era...when I was a kid, I had no club, no coach, no bus to ride, no matches taped...just found ways to tournaments and learned as I went along. In some ways, I think a little more guidance would have made me much better faster, but I also think it was valuable to learn for myself.

Taylor is a super kid and an incredible talent, but I don't think he'll win 4 NCAA titles. The level of competition in college is so high, guys are so strong and the talent pool is incredibly deep. We'll see -- I'd love him to prove me wrong!
