My son sent me a text message with some unexpected news…
He wrestled his first match and lost 18-4!
He said that he was embarrassed at the way he wrestled. He had no energy!
I started to seek out the cause. He got 8 hours sleep so that wasn’t it.
He wasn’t sure when he would be wrestling so he decided not to eat breakfast this morning. Instead, he ate two granola bars.
Because he had no energy, he chose to stretch rather than warm up with the KS team.
Both he and I were hoping that he would be wrestling on Saturday. Well, he won’t be wrestling any more today. He is out of the championship bracket and won’t wrestle until tomorrow morning in the consolation bracket.
That was definitely not part of the plan!
I fumbled around alternately trying to figure out how this happened and trying to encourage him. I evidently wasn’t helping him because he said a quick “Good bye” and hung up.
