Bronson,

The main reason I posted this article was because of the crazy insane stuff I was reading that day. I felt that a story like this might help get some parents' perspectives back in check. It is about the kids, the goal is to get them to wrestle in high school and maybe beyond, learn to respect your wrestler's opponents, learn to deal with their coaches and parents even when you have a tough time doing it, and realize that in a moment their career could end. This is a very tough sport. The kids that do it all earn my respect, whether they win State Championships or flounder around for a few years and pack it in. I wish the best to all who have ventured on the mat and believe that it will make you a better person in life.

By the way Bronson, our sons' paths crossing has led to our paths crossing, and for that, I am grateful.
