Interesting perspective. I see it differently from the Fort Worth side.

This hits home for a lot of us. Literally.

Fishing at Pecan Grove is underrated family time. My dad takes my kids there every Saturday morning. They've caught bluegill, bass, and one very confused turtle. Free and they talk about it all week.

dropped in for a class and the technique instruction was excellent. very detail oriented with an emphasis on why each detail matters for competition. the coaching is clearly informed by competition experience

First-time buyers are in a tough spot. This thread is important.

Been thinking about this all week. Good to see it getting traction here.

Following this thread. Want to hear more takes.

the unsolicited coaching rule: i CRINGE when i see a 3 month white belt telling another white belt what theyre doing wrong. you have been training for 12 weeks. you dont know what youre talking about yet. let the coach coach

This hits different if you've been in DFW for 10+ years.

PSA: if you work for a company with an EAP (Employee Assistance Program), you usually get 6-8 free sessions. Most people forget they have this benefit.

First-time buyers in Dallas-Fort Worth need to see this thread.

the cost comparison is wild. a real boxing gym where you learn from experienced coaches and can spar costs LESS than a fitness boxing chain where you learn nothing about actual boxing. its backwards

RIP Sammy's. This list would look different if they were still here. That deep dish pepperoni was elite.

i love these threads because they remind you that everyone started from zero. the purple belt who just demolished you in rolling was once the clueless white belt getting armbarred every 30 seconds

The Sachse/Murphy border proximity is underrated. SpringCreek BBQ, multiple grocery options, and all the Murphy retail on FM 544 are closer to me than the Rowlett commercial centers on 66.

Can someone from the north side weigh in? Curious if it's the same up there.

Interesting perspective. I see it differently from the Fort Worth side.

I went to Lakeview, my wife went to Rowlett. Our kids went to Rowlett. The rivalry is real but it's friendly. Both schools are solid. Neither one is significantly better than the other overall.

the coach problem is the biggest issue. you cant build a great program with a coach who has never wrestled at a high level. DFW is getting better about hiring experienced coaches but its still hit or miss

Interesting timing on this. The season is about to change the whole conversation.

Body cameras for all patrol officers should have been standard years ago. Glad to see it funded.

your coach is right and you should listen to him. 50/50 is the industry standard for a reason. the drilling builds the foundation and the rolling tests it. without drilling you are just surviving on instinct which has a ceiling

The Plaza Theatre in Garland does incredible shows for the price. Saw a production there last year that could have been on Broadway. $20 tickets. Rowlett people — this is 15 minutes from you.

I switched to getting dropped off at the kiss-and-ride after hearing about this. Not worth the risk of a broken window and $300 in repairs for a $10 phone charger.
