The Drexel coach has evidently had a change of heart.
I put eight matches on the DVD. 3 of those showed my son losing.
You might ask, “Now why would you do that when you are trying to impress someone?”
It turns out that was the smartest thing I could have done. Guess what part of the DVD convinced the Drexel coach that my son has Division 1 ability?…
Exactly…THE LOSSES!!!
Two of the losses were to young men who wrestled at Senior Nationals! One of them made it to the final sixteen. The guy who beat him in the KS State Finals finished 3rd…
in the nation!!!
That means that both of them beat a lot of wrestlers that the coach knows in the national tournament.
In fact, my son’s was eliminated by a guy from New York in a very close match.
Back to the e-mail…
After my call and e-mail, he and his assistant watched my son’s DVD again. This time, they had the High School Senior National bracket sheet out. They saw how he wrestled against the guy who finished in the top sixteen. They saw how he wrestled the guy who finished third in the nation. They saw the quality of the wrestlers from their area that were beaten in the Nationals by those two…
and they concluded that my son DEFINITELY has Division 1 ability and they would love to have him on their team!
