Too much Wtestling?

[SansSouci]

My oldest is fourteen y/o and he goes to wrestling practice year-round. We hit every major national tounement around the country and he's really good. The problem is that he needs to have a second elbow surgery from wrestling.

Has anyone else been through this and what did you do?

 

[Chopper25]

Amputate it, and tell him no rest for the best.

 

[tiltman]

Ask Hunter Stieber

 

[snizhawk44]

Is it the same elbow?

 

[SPOONER]

Yes. Give the kid a break. Tell your wife a little down time is a good thing for the kid. Good luck convincing her of that.

Also, that schedule and second surgery sounds a little bit like what you've criticized the Schreiver(?) kids parents for doing.

Rub some dirt on it and get back on the mat

 

[SansSouci]

We tried rubbing "Tussin" on it and it hasn't helped. Not wrestling isn't an option either.

Like it or not, he's wrestling. We've spent way too much money to let him fall behind. Our coach broke him mentally years ago, wrestling is our life. Again, not an option. To be ELITE, like his man Spencer Lee, you don't take time off.

Wow, good plan!

 

[snizhawk44]

Yes. Sounds like u are too easy on the child. No pain no gain.

 

[TarpHawk]

My friends Andrew and Dylan say just work through it--when you're having fun you don't notice the pain.

My friend Hunter disagrees--he says put a brace on it first, and then work through it, because that's what his coach said was in the team's--I mean his--best interests.

My friend Jason takes a third approach--he says wait for your coach to get fired and your team to disintegrate around you...and then work through it, because you'll still be the best on the team even without the use of your right side.

If you put money before your son's health then you're a ****ing douche bag. He doesn't have to be an All -American to be successful. I hope your kid does awesome, hope you don't live long enough to see it, lol

Hehe...and another falls victim to The Great SanSouci

Lee did take time off.

Lee did take time off.

Fact: As part of his rehab, Spencer was seen in Iowa City pushing a cart holding both Sam Stoll and Brody Grothus up a hill in two feet of snow last winter getting ready the PA state tourney.

Nope, pretty sure that was Teasdale in his effort to bulk up to 120 for next season.

Troll.

Fish in a barrel, buddy.

Agree I believe it was Sans who said AND... how many suguries has Schreiver had? Seems kinda hypocritical.

 

[OILCHECKER]

Next time you see Coach Schwab, ask him what he thinks you should do.

 

[Good30]

Im not sure where you have gone to have things looked at but I had 3 labrum surgeries in Cedar Falls and the last one in Iowa city. Iowa City is far more advanced and I would not go anyone else after my experience there.

 

[MitchL]

Coach Schwab doesn't have time to consult on this matter. Rumors have him proceeding on the paperwork for transfers from Minnesota.

OK! And tape an aspirin to it.

Seriously, get him fixed up.
Ever hear the story about Bill Walton the basketball player? His career was cut short due to a bad foot. It would have been a routine surgery when he was 12 years old but he kept putting it off and never got it done, too many tournaments.

 

[minnhawkeye]

Ok san will fall for your thread.
Really it is all like everything else that goes on in this world. No one seems to use common sense anymore.
So u have spent lots of money on clubs and camps so take the kid to the best place to get it fixed and listen to what the Dr. tells you and the kid after the he has it fixed.

 

[Mpchillin]

You guys do realize that he's not really talking about his kid and probably is actually talking about the kid you guys are mentioning, right?

I guess then I would ask why is this guy who likes to fight on bridges so obsessed with a 14 year old kid.

Sometimes I wish I was a bird so I could fly over certain people and shit on their heads.

 

[so cal hawkfan]

While you're wishing you were a bird might I suggest the mighty Hawk? They're pretty cool. Although I've heard gophers are shitting quite a bit lately.

I was referring to a post by a certain asshole poster who shouldn't be allowed on this forum.

You assumed I hated you. Shame on you. Maybe a strong dislike but not hate.

You think it's a mere coincidence that Gophers(gophers) live underground?

The foundations for great friendships have been built on less!

Nailed it...that's who it is. You win free bottle of Tullamore Dew from John's Grocery. Just tell them Sans sent you.

My kids showed this to me:

When is the bacon stuff going to end? Holy shit with the bacon. How is bacon funny? It's deadly. Did we just discover this shit? What am I missing?

Brain cells?

 

[SansSouci]

Brain cells?

True, but I'm serious about the bacon. The whole new bacon love is some nerdy shit. If you go to bacon festivals you are a loser with cholesterol levels is the five thousands and don't have the skills to smoke your own meat cuts.

You obviously need to turn your son towards soccer because that is the future while wrestling is gonna be extinct in 20 years because parents will view it unsafe for their children............................or was that football?

My second oldest quit wrestling and is a soccer stud now. He never wrestled a match longer than a minute. Then one official called a match wrong, against the scoring table, and he lost by one. He won't wrestle anymore unless the team needs big points. He's a select team soccer player and I couldn't care less, only because he was unbeatable at wrestling. One shitty official ruined an overly competative kid. He's only eleven though and I hope he brings his sick blast double back someday. He still goes to wrestling practice.

His younger brother is playing the same game. Trying to specialize in soccer when he dominates wrestling. Nothing I can do about it, but hope they realize that you can't win them all.


My other two don't think like that. They come back to destroy people.
Can't wait to get the other two back.
