My son has been on his school's varsity wrestling team since 8th grade. He has been the best wrestler on the team since 9th. The team has gone from the laughing stock of the state to a record of 14-1 this year. My son has been dingged up all year, but he has only lost twice. The team season ended last night, from here on it is about individual honors. He has not accepted his appointment from either Air Force or Navy yet. He is either playing football at Navy or Lax at Air Force, he has not decided which way to go. I am hoping AF Lax.
I want him to shut down the wrestling for the year. He has no interest in wrestling in college. His coach says he has worked so hard over the 5 years, he should be given the opportuntiy to win a State Championship. I say who cares about a State Championship, last year he was one of the favorites and did not even place. He also missed the first month of lax season because of injuries from wrestling. The other coaches around our state know he is injured and you know that is where they are going to tell their kids to attack.
I am trying to tell him, his coach and his guidance counsellor that if he gets hurt he loses the opportunity to go to one of the best colleges in the world. I think he is leaning towards AF.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
