I’m looking ahead . High school sport is a different beast here . The high schools are much like private schools in Australia . The sporting programs are thorough and are run like private clubs . On Texs high school tour we were introduced to the program and facilities on offer . I was surprised at the professional approach . We past the gym with weight programs assigned to certain sporting teams . In one large room the kids were sitting to attention as they received game plan and instruction , and this was after normal school hours . The kids represent their school with pride . Did I say weights room and gym ? Astro turf field , manicured grounds , tennis courts , swimming pools , basketball courts , sporting lectures and even the expectation that the new kids coming in will study sport during the summer break . 
I’m watching as Tex labours through Muay Thai at the Black House , we’ve still gotta drag him here . At the same time the Mira Costa kids are here training with the wrestling team . The joint is choked out in sweat as these teenagers ,both boys and girls grapple on the mat , all the while their coach barks commands . It smells worse than team spirit .
