Yeah, I've seen that happen on
occasion, too. I've also noticed that those who fall apart afterwards,
usually did not have much of a homelife throughout. In other words
there were some messed up priorities in place well before the lights
went out. My middle son, Michael, a senior this year, only won two
matches his first three years in high school. This year he had a
winning record and came within one match of making it to the state
tournament. I would suggest that he must have had something more going
on in his homelife than just wrestling, to endure over 60 losses on his
way to only 2 wins, wouldn't you? The reason he did not hate wrestling
-- and life -- is the same reason Andy will not fall apart when his
"time takes its toll": they've both got something greater going on.

I cannot speak from experience, but I have no doubt that you are right.
