It is hard not to give up when your son has wrestled since he was 5 and we hit the bottom of the 12 and under this year- since the very first bracket we have had atleast 4 state placers in it. Automatically he thinks he's going to loose and does not try his hardest- just goes through the motions- gets pinned in moves he was taught to get out of when he was younger?????I don't get it! We try not to get angry but we know he is much better than that.
This weekend we will make it through subs but with 5 state placers wrestling south we will not make through dist- not to mention the ones in his bracket-. We always say there is next year but when is it going to click?
