If this is anything like his clinic at (Lewis Center) Olentangy and (from what I hear) Olentangy Orange, it is WELL WORTH THE TRIP!!!!!!!
I will do my best to get some clips form the LC Olentangy clinic uploaded to youtube. Very methodical and flowing in his approach and extrememly concise in his delivery.
I'll only post a clip or two as to (hopefully) whet the appetite. (As is Mike P. needed any help.)

Sounds good... thanks Mark.
I think he will do really, really well. There are some guys who are able to achieve a high level of success as competitors but aren't all that passionate about teaching the sport to someone else and walking alongside them in their own quest for success. I think that's what makes someone a great coach, mentor or teacher of the sport. You have to really enjoy taking a back seat and helping someone else live their dreams. In talking to Mike - that's where he is at.
Mike is really excited about helping wrestlers develop their own skills and reach their potential.
Here is the article that is on THEMAT.com

Tomorrow night at 6:30 pm. Plenty of space - just show up at Walsh (4550 Wyoga Lake Road, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio)
This is a great opportunity for the prototypical high school wrestler to learn from someone who has been there and done exactly what they are trying to achieve: He started as a youth wrestler, then a hard-working middle schooler and then had a goal to become a high school state champion. It took him until his senior year to achieve this. So there was some struggle there that you can learn from.
Many high schoolers are interested in wrestling college - but aren't sure if they've got what it takes to beat the very best from Iowa, Iowa State, etc.. and win the NCAA's. How do you get there? A lot of great Ohio wrestlers do not make it.
Mike will share all of this and his successful journey through it with you.
