An invaluable teaching tool.By Rob MooreThis book can benefit folks on two levels: those who can actually use it as a practical curriculum (those who can actually go through the rigors of professional wrestling training), and those like me who may be physically unable to do it but want a better understanding of what it takes to be successful. With the territories gone, wrestling needs more true trainers like Dr. Tom, Rudy Boy Gonzalez and others to pass their knowledge on to the next generation. This book is a great start in showing the ropes.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

These stories encompass the values and mission of our University and provide fresh insights on issues that significantly impact our city and state. Featured in this issue are stories about research solutions addressing Houston’s flooding and how one professor’s study is helping local law enforcement better identify human trafficking victims. You also are invited to learn how our criminal justice students are lending a hand to former inmates who are reentering society. This issue also spotlights the historic $10 million gift naming the Marilyn Davies College of Business. You’ll also meet talented professors and lecturers who are recipients of the 2017 Faculty Awards; and the student-athletes who represent our institution through its Club Sports programs. “New In Blue” is particularly relevant to me since joining UHD in April. I’ve met many inspirational faculty, staff and community leaders who balance their academic and professional obligations with a commitment to their community, which is also a common theme among our diverse campus of Gators.
