As you get older, your wrestling style matures, and his is starting to mature. He's starting to really refine his stuff and that's nice to see. |
He had a great tournament. A lot of these kids have been wrestling since they were little guys, so for Shaun it was about the learning curve. He's always had the physical ability and the quickness but, against kids like this, that's not always enough. |
Rod was just put in positions he wasn't used to against (Washington). |
Rod's had a tremendous year. He's been first in three tournaments and second in two. But he was not a big 215-pounder and he's better suited at 189. |
That's probably the biggest growth in him during the year. |
