Interview on Coach Tom Ryan By: Matt Oviatt of Estepp & Photos Done By: Carter Adams of Garrity

On Monday night, The

Ohio State University’s headwrestling coach Thomas Ryan spoke

to hundreds of Buckeye Boys State

delegates at the evening program in

the Stroh Center. He delivered a brief

message condeming complacency in

our society and regarding the value

of struggling through hardship beforeturning the rest of his time to his

friend Ammon Butcher.

Mr. Butcher’s message was

very similar to that of Mr. Ryan’s,

that the character of a man should

have greater importance than any

other quality. Ammon Butcher is a

living testament of that. Paralyzedsince his junior year of high school

and in twenty-four hour care, Mr.

Butcher has had great success in

other facets of his life. He graduated

in the top of his class and became

a sought after student in college.

Of Ammon, Mr. Ryan said “He is

someone who has great wisdom

and has persevered through the

unthinkable.” Indeed, Butcher

delivered a message of perseverance,

persistence, and passion.

I was told I would be

meeting Mr. Ryan following the

assembly, but unfortunately, he

and Mr. Butcher had to leave early

partway through the program. I

thought my interview fell through

when later I was handed a phone and

told I was speaking with Mr. Ryan ashe was traveling to catch his ight.

Let this be said: being

the head coach for a major

university is no easy job. There are

many responsibilities, duties, and

commitments that come with the

position; and it was a great privilege

to speak with Tom Ryan, taking afew minutes of his time traveling to

get to know him and hear what he

had to say.

I opened the interview

by talking sports. I asked him why

he loves what he does, coaching

wrestling. “I enjoy the work,” hesaid, “the one-on-oneness of it

all.” He also mentioned he was an

awesome basketball player.

Coach Ryan obviously had

some success in his career. He was a

two-time Big Ten champ and NCAA

All-American wrestler for the Iowa

Hawkeyes in 1991 and 1992. He led

Hofstra University to six consecutive

conference titles, won the 2009

National Coach of the Year honor,

and led Ohio State wrestling to two

second-place nishes at the NCAAChampionships. I asked him if there

was anyone or anything to which he

attributed his success. He said that “It

takes a village,” and cited his mother,

Coach Dan Gable of the University

of Iowa, and his workout partners to

“build a champ.”

I then asked, on behalf of

Boys Staters, what skills does an

effective leader need? Obviously

he’s a successful coach, and that is

only achieved by leading in a way

that gets results, which isn’t too far



2 The Hetuck

away from leading a business team or

holding political ofce. He answered

“A leader has got to understand

trust,” and to build that trust. Coach

Ryan also said that a leader needsthree things: “Character, condence,

and connection.” Take notes,

delegates.

Regarding last pieces of

advice for delegates, Ryan stated

“Consider two options. One is that

we are here by chance, the other is

that we are here because of divine

creation. Neither are wrong answers,

but take time to gure it out, because

there are many, many more trivial

things in life.”

Thank you for your time,

words, and wisdom, Mr. Ammon

Butcher and Coach Tom Ryan.

applicants. After the run, applicants

exhibited their tness by pushing their

limits in sit-ups and crunches. Once

the physical portion of the exam was

completed, applicants took a ten question

multiple choice quiz over speed limits.

The candidates who passed the test were

announced that night at the evening

program in the Stroh Center. The new

troopers’ names were announced;

they stood and were recognized.

Congratulations to all State Highway

Patrol ofcers!

delegates on what time they all left

their dorms to arrive to the exam.

It turns out that they all left fteen

minutes early. I followed these banking

hopefuls all around McDonald hall,

as they searched, with no luck, for

the hidden testing room. Direction

after direction ended up failing, as the

delegates searched on.

When all seemed lost, one

legionnaire provided the delegates with

the treasure map to the exam room.

Would they be successfully arriving on

time? After all, it was supposed to start

on the time they arrived… However,

the sad truth turns out that too many

banking hopefuls arrived way before

the expected time of arrival to take the

exam. For the latecomers, the numbers

reaching into the hundreds and beyond,

their chance to take the exam ended.

Anger and frustration ensued, as their

job options landed on their ability to

reach the Job Fair before any others.

Good luck to those whoreached the exam before any others,

and good luck to those who will have to

nd a job at the Job Fair.

At 2:30 in the afternoon on

Tuesday, some Buckeye Boys State

delegates took the State Highway Patrol

Exam in the Falcon Heights Building.

Of the 75 total hopefuls, only 20 were

chosen for the program. Applicants

arrived in the lobby and turned in

their forms which contained questionsregarding general information. The

applicants then went for a three mile

run without a time limit, and the run

was successful in ‘weeding out’ a few

The Demanding Bank Exam

By: James Barrows of Dieringer

In a surprising twist that

occurred Tuesday evening, hundreds

of banking hopefuls trekked around

the Bowling Green State University

campus in search of the seeminglynonexistent bank exam. The location

seemed pretty easy to nd: McDonald

North Hall, room 70. This was not the

case.

Those who had a half hour to

forty-ve minute head start had plenty

of time to locate the exam. Others hada more daunting task ahead of them,

in a situation resembling “The Search

of the Holy Grail.” I questioned these

4 The Hetuck

The Power of PersistenceBy: Ryan Shockling of Abele

Despite any views, party

afliation, or rank within the Boys StateGovernment, one should truly take

time to appreciate the message of Ohio

State wrestling coach Tom Ryan’s guest

Ammon Butcher. Butcher spoke with

strength not commonly seen in any man,

especially not seen in those who have

shared his experiences and struggles.

Butcher not only displayed strength

through his speaking, but also through hismessage of persistence.

Persistence, as Butcher shared,

directly correlates to success. He quoted

Calvin Coolidge, America’s thirtieth

president, when emphasizing persistence

as the best quality a man can possess. Our

nation’s sixteenth president, Abraham

Lincoln, also argued for persistence,

once saying, “Bear in mind that your

resolution to succeed is more important

than any one thing.” A person’s drive and

inner motivation to win or be the best

often times results in the success that

person craves. The power of this inner

drive frequently manifests itself in sports.

Athletes such as Michael Jordan, a former

Boys State delegate and six-time NBA

champion, represent the best their eld

has ever had to offer, mostly due to a will

to win capable of overcoming any and all

obstacles.

However, people often try

to avoid stressful situations, but success

cannot be gained without effort, sacrice,

and struggle. Few men throughout

history have ever gained or maintained

success without a heartfelt dedication

for their craft. Sacrices must be madeto win. Whether sacricing leisure time

for the practice and perfection of their

craft, or heeding the words of John

Rockefeller, the wealthiest oil tycoon

of all time, sacrices are pivotal to

success. Nonetheless, the main aspect

of persistence is the adversity one must

overcome in order to reach the pinnacle

of their profession. Ralph Waldo Emersononce said, “We sink to rise.” Emerson

and Butcher share a similar message,

indicating the effectiveness of failure

as a motivational tool. Michael Jordan,

as referred to earlier, used his initial

failure to make his high school basketball

team as fuel for his unparalleled inner

motivation; thus, he used his profound

work ethic to shape himself into whatmost consider the greatest basketball

player of all time.

People often view persistence

and overcoming adversity more highly

than regular success achieved with few

obstacles. The determination required

to be the best calls for respect, which

can be seen in Ryan, Butcher, Jordan,

legionnaires, counselors, and many Boys

State delegates.

Gubernatorial Debate- Strong

Opinions

By: Maxwell E. Hoover of Brady

On June 10, 2014, Buckeye

Boys State held its Gubernatorial

Debate for candidates running for state

positions within the program. Both the

nationalist and the federalist parties were

represented at the Gubernatorial Debate.

The debate was held in the Stroh Center

on the campus of Bowling Green State

University.

The candidates for both

Attorney General, Secretary of

State, State Auditor, State Treasurer,

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,

Lieutenant Governor, and Governor all

spoke at the debate. Both candidates

for a particular position (one from each

party) were asked a question pertaining

to the position they were running for

and were given sixty seconds to answer.

A fteen second rebuttal period was

allotted to the opposing candidate for

each question.

Graye Miller was the

federalist candidate for Chief Justice

of the Supreme Court. When asked

whether or not judges had the right to

make decisions based on today’s society

he replied “If elected, I will follow the

Constitution reverently.” His opponent,

the nationalist candidate for Chief Justice

of the Supreme Court, supported the

idea of making judicial decisions based

on today’s society and the theory that

“the Constitution was not written in the

twenty rst century.”

Both candidates for State

Auditor agreed at detailed reports should

be recorded about the spending of

government money, but the nationalist

candidate for State Auditor suggested

ning politicians one thousand dollars

if they misused government funds, and

even spoke about a policy to remove

politicians from ofce if they couldn’t

provide evidence for where government

money went.

When the nationalist

candidate for Secretary of State

was asked about the lack of voting

in America, he replied “We can all

make a difference [by voting] in our

government.” The federalist candidate

for Secretary of State suggested that we

“educate America’s youth on their right

to vote.”

Both candidates for Governorhighly supported improving education in

Ohio, and expressed their willingness to

work with a cabinet that had a variety of

parties present within it.
