This is a touchy subject for a parent who has watched their kid scrap all year and seen behind closed doors the pain he tolerates and the toughness he shows to make me proud!! Don't like this topic!! Should have never been started. To many circumstances and things we would not know about that could cause someone to make this decision or for their parent to make it for them. The goal is to make it to state and compete at the highest level that you are physically capable of correct?
