i am derek roes dad and these coments are all so very true,i remember my loss my senior yr more then my state championship win my junior yr. derek took a ot. loss at s.s. being ranked 6th-from the 1 pt.loss at state last year on fri. - starting that monday that kid lifted and worked out every day---had a great season and all came crashing down with 1 loss at the wrong time.i told him i dont have the answers,but that u will receive more heartaches in life and i think wrestling will help prepare u for that. its just so crazy that i have missed 2 days of work,cant eat -over one fricking wrestling match! it seems to be so much harder on a parent then it was ever on me when i was on the mat. i am saying this with a sad heart, but i have vowed to never talk another kid into wrestling.the highs and lows are to great.JOIN THE BAND! tell me, am i crazy or what?
