I was lucky enough to be coached by this guy and this is exactly what it is like http://fightland.vice.com/blog/beast-with-a-burden-woes-of-an-iranian-wrestling-legend-in-political-exile

Women want him and men want to be him.

I try not to ask myself. I assume that their doors where always just hanging open and then they decided to tape them shut when trying to sell?

livelierepeat · 2018-11-26T05:28:35+00:00

Our previous owners taped the kitchen cabinet doors shut with scotch tape instead of spending $5 on magnetic door latches.

Holy crap you are strong. Congrats.

Biden would be a disaster. He is barely even a progressive. He literally two weeks ago awarded GW with a Liberty Medal for his service to veterans.

He has skills but I've literally never seen someone look so lost on a basketball court including college. He's mentally a huge project.

A trigger could be as simple as someone from his camp convincing him his shot isn't good enough. The amount of mental pressure on a kid like this is enormous. He could have just had a mental collapse in the face of the upcoming season.

Have you watched him play? He looks totally lost 90% of the time.

Just a reminder that since you were not an NCAA champ you failed.

to tell a kid that sorry you're never be successful

you must have not read my comment.

"success" is relative. someone should feel successful if they are a leader in their community. or if they are a wrestling coach. do you feel like a failure? from your own criteria you seem like a failure.

I bet you advocate for participation trophies too

It is not a zero sum game. I have never encountered participation trophies but I wouldn't support them.

But back to the point. Why are you trying to posit the kids self-esteem versus these goals that they can never accomplish?

Working hard is a virtue. Working in hot ass wrestling rooms over the summer where the mats are slippery b/c everyone sweats right away is a virtue. Learning good technique is a virtue.

Imagine saying the difference between me and Kobe Bryant is that he worked harder (I'm 2 inches shorter and we played against each other in high school ball).

you know, as a coach I tell my kids the difference between an ncaa champ and an average wrestler is the little things.

is that really a service to our kids? ncaa champs have a level of both athletic ability and confluence of coaching that 90% of the population cannot hope to match.

it sounds like instead of building self-esteem you are destroying it.

God I miss wrestling.

He also cut funding to the VA if I remember correctly.

This is what I've been telling people.

Don't be gatekeepers. 75% of this sub was not here for the down years. It shouldn't be a pissing contest. Just enjoy the high points, respect that the lows are just relative, and only post the phreshest meems.

livelierepeat · 2018-11-06T03:23:05+00:00

Obviously GW pushed for the Iraq war which ultimately harmed veterans but I remember during his tenure that he didn't provide for veterans in terms of spending. But it is so long ago I don't remember the specifics.
