OK I just can't resist. I apologize to my parents, teachers, and coaches but I just have to do this even though I know it is wrong and if I did this during wrestling season when I wrestled I would be running until the cows come home. BUUUUUTTTT. I quote "My kids will win state go to college and kick ___ there as well because its they were made for and what we live for" This statement may be the sorriest thing I have heard on here. Who lives their life for a sport? We all love the sport of wrestling, but I definitely don't live for the sport. It sure won't put food on the table or clothes on my back. I may one day wish that my son's are state champs and more, and it may be nice to be as good as Stephen (I have not seen Austin) I definitely would not sacrifice my kids family and friends to accomplish this. Moving schools 3 or 4 times in 4 years is not healthy, no matter how you look at it. (Socially, economically, physically, and definitely educationally) All of these suffer from moves so often. I would much prefer my kids to be socially adept and have a great education, than for them to be a 4 time state champion and a national champion. A couple of places where you are grossly mistaken are about how Moe and Reading feel. I'm sure that having a national championship team would be wonderful but truth is they probably could care less. Especially the Board of Education. The more important thing to them is to have a team that is humble, modest, and a good sport. All of which you (maybe not your kids) lack. I for one would trade a nationally ranked kid for an average kid who is humble and a good sport any day of the week. Championships are great but when other teams and coaches recognize that your team has class on and off the mat (field, court) means much, much more. As for being a winner at all that you do. No sir you are not. You do not win at Modesty, humility, at being Humble and more than anything else Charisma. I know that a person should not cast stones when they live in a glass house. I'm not sure I live in a glass house, it may be plexi-glass because I am nowhere near perfect. Once again sorry mom, dad, and coach. I'll start running my laps tomorrow, at my age it may take a while.
