Dear coach Miron, I can not begin to thank you enough for agreeing to work with me this summer. you blessed me with one of the greatest training experiences in my life and I am already reaping the fruits of your training. I not only learned from you on the mat but as well off the mat. About my junior year in high school my coach gave me this wrestling technique video to watch. as I began watching it I admired the instructor and wanted practiced the moves being shown. so practicing with nick one evening he was dong similar moves to the ones I had seen on the tape. I began telling him of the wrestling video I had watched and he informed me that the person I was watching was his coach. I found that to be incredible, but it made sense seeing the wrestler that nick was. Approaching the end of wrestling season I was looking for places to train for the summer. Finding some places in Ohio to train at I was then accepted into the home of nick. the very first day college ended nick took me to his wrestling room where I met you. I was so excited just being able to shake your hand and say I met you. so while nick practiced I would sit and watch soaking up as much technique as I could. I was amazed to see youth kids drilling moves that I had never seen and to the intensity that they were performed at. so for a week I would observe and learn by sight. With in a week of training I had learned the most technique ever in my life. I soon began to hit moves precisely during live sessions and I was in awe. I had one of the greatest experience this summer and it was all because of my relationship with nick. I'm writing this letter because you have greatly influenced me over the period of about two and a half months. first you helped me get a mile closer to getting to my goals and dreams with the nearest being gaining and NCAA title this year. second to make the world team this upcoming summer. You helped me get closer to my career by allowing me to be around the kids and high school guys being able to coach and influence them, in the future becoming a teacher and coach. thirdly you learn a life lesson by showing me kindness. My home pastor is a firm believer in investing in people and I saw first hand what that was like. from the kindness of your heart you took me in and changed my life. Because of you I am that much closer to where I want to be in life and you encouraged me to never stop until I earn my college degree and earn a title. Thank you for investing in me. Sincerely, Jabari Irons
