I was correct.

Reminder to everyone on here, including myself, that we are grown adults speaking on high school kids. From the looks of it, there’s been some jabs and shade thrown on some threads, and it’s never that serious. It’s just wrestling. Sometimes it’s okay and necessary to take a step back from the board and just watch. This is for discussion about the sport, it becomes something completely different when everyone is throwing shots at each other, making claims about programs, and making remarks about kids. This is meaningful to those participating whether as a wrestler or coach, but there is far more to life than high school wrestling.

I was wrong to use the term “overachievers,” and after being presented with a new perspective, I will be changing the title of this thread if possible.

Very true. I didn’t think about it like that even having been considered an overachiever myself despite knowing my result was a letdown. Thank you for pointing that out. I have to remind myself these are kids. Also, @1prouddad I meant no harm by my statement and I apologize.

No need to be dramatic and say “ouch.” It’s not downplaying anyone’s efforts, but on paper, according to various credentials, talent levels, and experience, a lot of these guys “aren’t supposed to win,” but are doing so in convincing fashion. Thus, they are overachieving. It’s not a derogatory term, and I, along with several others from my time, were considered overachievers.

Overachieving is a very relative term. What might be considered overachieving to one spectator could be a letdown for the actual wrestler.
 
One example: I(very wrongly) had Elias Cressell ranked #8 in the semi-state. I’m sure all of Wabash county thought that was ridiculous, but for most of the state who didn’t get to watch him this year, it probably looks like he’s having the tournament of his life. To him, I would bet he was still distraught losing in the semis despite his ranking being much lower than his final placement.

working, training my guys and playing Steve Lurkle on here 😂..
Had a lot of my guys fighting the past year..I've been Hella busy training and cornering guys all over the place... @blueandgold went actually went on a 3 hour Adventure to Sullivan last month when my guys put on a show in their MMA debuts.

Have a feeling Kyrel Leavell wins his second title today.

I’ll be the first to eat my words. Just didn’t want grown men taking a kid out of the match before it ever even happened. Big congrats to Hockaday. Great wrestler.

I’m happy to say I’ve been telling @FCFIGHTER170 all year Zar Walker could take the title.
