What they are saying: “I'm extremely proud to be taking over as head coach for Jupiter. This program has great potential and I'm here to unlock it. Wrestling is a great proving ground for their character and for building resiliency and I want to build a program that's rooted in discipline, grit, and technical excellence. Ultimately, I'm looking for our program to be where we keep pounding that we want to build a legacy through strength and character, and that's the cornerstone and foundation for our new culture.”

On what he wants on the mat: "I want people to go to walk away from wrestling a Jupiter wrestler going, 'Wow, those kids are extremely disciplined. They have an immense amount of grit and their technique is super sharp.' To have a complete package where people walk off that mat and go, 'those kids are solid and I don't necessarily want to keep wrestling those kids.'

On the next step: "We've had northern Palm Beach County success and I want to expand the program beyond that. Clearly the ones to catch up in Palm Beach County are Olympic Heights and Wellington. So our program is going to be focused on trying to close that gap. Luckily this year we do have a lot of returning wrestlers."

Outlook: David Spilker takes over a program that has won four consecutive district titles and has his sights set on taking the program to the next level.
