Definitely. It's a tough two sets, but he huffs and puffs his way through them and holds good form throughout. I usually just have to give him some verbal cues like; knees out, back straight, shoulders back.

Do you think come junior high he'll want to get involved with more than football?

I remember back in the day how touch practices were. By the time he gets there it will seem like a walk in the park. He'll have that mental toughness.

Football is his first love right now, followed closely by basketball and fly-fishing. I suggested wrestling to him, it would help his lineman skills, but he's not interested. Of course there is always hope that he'll get involved in rodeo like me

I highly recommend wrestling. Too bad he's not interested. It had great carry over to other sports, even basketball. You get so used to the physical ebbs and flows, and responding to them with leverage, etc.

I forgot you were a rodeo guy. Any pictures?

I'd have to get some scanned. I was in the paper twice and on Entertainment Tonight (TV show)once. But that was a looong time ago...

I was a pro wrestler a long time ago. Some pictures, but nothing good. I think you're past was more exciting than mine...

Rodeo is exciting and fun. Too bad I couldn't make a living at it

I have a few pictures lingering on the forum. I was the mysterious Black from Area 51. Tri-State heavyweight champion. Here are some pics I snapped from a VHS tape:
