That's a good story.
In some ways I wish I'd had older brothers to help and push me, but as it is I was the oldest of this generation so I guess I set the bar. The younger boys definitely broke it,mincliding a qualifier this year. The next batch has the youth room full and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in a few years when this group starts through. The sports anxiety is a tough thing to understand but I know it's real. We had a senior when I was a freshman that could sidestroke anyone in our room, including a state champ....but before meets he would vomit and wouldn't be able to get air on the mat....he ran out of gas and eventually quit....said it was just too stressful. He had the talent to have been great but that stuff just shut him down when the strap went on his ankle. |

The one thing that used to just piss me right the hell off would be when someone would say after the match, "you lost because you didn't want it! The other guy wanted it more than you and you WANTED to lose! You wrestled to lose!" I'd think to myself, "BULLSHIT!!! I want to win more than anything!!! If I didn't, I wouldn't stress myself out the way I do!!!" No one really understood what was going on with me back then... They always blamed it on asthma. Nope...wasn't asthma...it was 100% anxiety. Some people don't realize how something can affect you mentally to the point where you are actually physically handicapped from it. So frustrating. ![]() My biggest fear was that the two youngest brothers would experience it. They both have their occasional bouts with it, but not near the extent that I did...which I couldn't feel happier about. Keep me posted on here about how your program is doing! Sounds like you've got something good in the works!! |

I've loved the tournament this year. Anyone else following?
Who is watching the finals tonight??? You Mizzou fans have got to be pumped with how well Cox is doing. |

I caught some last night. Glad to see the Hawks moving toward first place but Penn State, damn. That 149 of theirs with another stick. They keep adding bonus points, cant catch 'em.

Retherford is freaking amazing. And to think Aaron Pico, a guy who doesnt even wrestle in college at 19 years old beat Retherford 4 times at opens last year!!!! CRAZY! Went straight to the international scene, to my understanding. There are some crazy gifted wrestlers in this world.

My bracket is/was totally ****ed. Not a Mizzou fan but felt bad for Butler and Manley.

Right on, dude!!! Penn State is going to be a powerhouse for a while...especially when they are continuing to land elite recruits like Mark Hall...

OW will be Dieringer. That kid is so freaking good. And I love some of the stuff he says in interviews... Pretty introspective, competitive cat. He will make a great coach some day.
