There is very few kids I have seen in wrestling that are as willing to put in the hours & effort as alex. Its tough to see your son try so hard & not reach there goals. My oldest son worked & drilled & went to every practice he could & was one match from placeing & lost. I know the feeling pat. You do all you can, your son does all he can & then loses out fair & square. The victory is the time us fathers get to spend with our sons because of wrestling. I know alex he will be back stronger than ever.
