Rick,
Thanks for giving Mr. Kleinsorgeeeeee's story. My son decided three days into practice to go out for wrestling. Quite frankly, he dropped my socks because he has shown a propensity towards doing anything with sports, lest of all wrestling. He was eons behind the rest of the team. His older brother who wrestled here at Abilene told him do only for yourself. Don't do it for me or his sister, cause that seemed to be some of the motivation. He went out and proceeded to count every ceiling tile in every gym he wrestled in.
However, he lost nearly 30 lbs., has gained confidence and now is willing to let Kirk Gable, Kid's Fed Coach and past state qualifer to work with him in the off season. He is showing the will to work off season in his conditioning. He might go to Trego, Montana to the Eternal Warrior Wrestling Camp. If not this year, the next.
I showed him your post and that seemed to encourage him. Thanks again for posting about Theo. Great encouragement! We need to hear more stories like that.
Stan
P.S. Interested in Eternal Warrior Camp? Go to Google.com and type in Eternal Warrior Wrestling. It has pretty impressive staff.
