After winning Olympic gold medals in 2006 and 2010, Shaun White was heavily favored to repeat, but failed to medal in the 2014 Games. Today he redeemed himself. 2018 Olympic Champion. After 4 years, he’s back. Basically what I’m saying is, thank you Shaun.

But is he reliable? Is he kind? Is he coachable? Will he be a good teammate?

There aren’t any collegiate coaches in the stands recruiting your 7 year olds just yet. They don’t give out scholarship offers to 55 pound wrestlers. At some point much later in their careers, winning will be important and the stakes will be higher. Until then let them have fun

Really classy Jordan Burroughs as a commentator saying you’d target Starocci’s injury in competition. Sad that you think that way and even if you do you should keep that to yourself it’s unprofessional. For all your accomplishments I’d expect more.

So I finally unpacked my bags from this year’s World Championships and I went to put my medal in my trophy case with my son Beacon.
Beacon: “Dad can I see your medal?”
Me: “Sure buddy.”
Beacon: “Whar color is it?”
Me: “Bronze.”
Beacon: “What’s that?”
Do I laugh or cry? 😂😭

once seen a person required to cut their hair during a match. This is nonsense. As a referee, you are required to check the hair and nails of all wrestlers BEFORE a match. My opinion is that this was a combination of an abuse of power, racism, and just plain negligence.
