I wasn't trying to disagree with what the coach told your son - or offend in anyway. I apologize if that's how it came off. I was just touching on my perspective of college wrestling and the reasons kids decide it's no longer fun. You're absolutely right, there's certainly parts of the process that suck. Somehow, wrestlers endure the pain - and strangely enough, it's the toughest aspects of being a competitor that I miss most! Best of luck to your son in his college career. Enjoy it, cause it's over in a blink.
