Travel

My son’s true freshman year they did a Dakota trip and he squeaked out two close wins with guys he looked like he should bonus. I wasn’t a good wrestler so I never questioned his performances. A few weeks later I did. He got a sinus infection on the plane ride, broke three fingers in a workout, a personal problem, exam problem,and the opposing coach shut off the heat in the weight cut room. He could lose 7 pounds in 45 mins normally, the first workout he lost 2 lbs. home turf advantage can be a thing at times. Old Dave McFadden
