Aaron,

Remember there are only about 3 people's opinions that really matter in this entire thread....

1. Your parents
2. Your coach
3. "The man in the mirror"

Your dad is right on the money. Take it from me....I cut too much during my growth spurt and I think it hurt me. Not only from a growth perspective but from a wrestling perspective also. Who knows....I may have squeezed out a couple of inches and could be all of 5'4" vice 5'2". You have much more potential...don't stifle it! As far as the wrestling....I am sure it cost me a state championship. I got 2nd because I was too weak. It also hurt my grades. Your parents and coaches are right on target...listen to them!

To Aaron's Dad and Aaron,

Thanks for allowing me the privalege to work with you this fall. If you need anything let me know!
Finish the season strong and let your wrestling do the talking.

Shawn
