Well, this is new

When Coach Brazil says sit down, you don’t look for a chair.

This American Football coach took mentoring to the next level when he challenged one of his players to a wrestling match and beat him in front of his team mates.

Brian Brazil of Hebron High School in Texas called out one of his strongest and toughest students, Julian Harris, and went to the mats roared on by a thrilled crowd of footballers.

Harris, a defensive end in the team, looked to be getting the better of the coach initially and even flung him over his head at a stage but Brazil recovered to win the fight and show the team that he’s “with them”… apparently.

The video began to gather pace and the team made it onto CBS in America to talk about their pre-season antics.
