I have one week to make a BIG decision…
Where should my son go to school?
How will we pay for it?
I decided to call the Drexel coach. I didn’t really hold out much hope when I dialed the number because I haven’t heard from him in at least three weeks despite leaving several messages and sending several e-mails.
Surprise! He actually answered the phone. I wonder if he felt like his hiding place had just been discovered.
He confirmed that he got the DVD we sent him several weeks ago. He began telling me that he had watched it but he didn’t know the guys who he was wrestling against. He had nothing to compare it to. He knows the wrestlers from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
However, the tone of his voice noticeably changed when I informed him that my son did in fact wrestle in the Senior Nationals. He then started talking about how he didn’t need a heavyweight until next year. I reminded him that my son wrestles in the 160 pound class.
It was quickly becoming obvious that the DVD had not made that much of an impression on him. That is why he had not returned my calls or e-mails.
After I hung up, I decided to send him an e-mail with the behind the scenes details of the Senior Nationals. After all, this is pretty much my last chance. I have a dinner appointment next Tuesday night!
