Well, wish I had better news to report from the mat...but it was another rough weekend! Gabe is keeping his head up, and him and Shawn are trying to figure out different approaches. The problem...not sure, but he is able to do very well in Novice tournaments, but in the Opens...has been struggling. He does not have anyone to give him a challenge in practice....he can beat everyone in his weight range in practice pretty easily, so at practice he has not been able to develop in the areas he has probably needed to. Shawn visited with another coach and have made a plan for summer practices with one of Gabe's arch nemesis'. He would give Gabe a good go....so, hopefully this will help out. Until then, they are going back to the basics....the way Shawn learned....we are so proud of Gabe...and he is trying so hard. There has been improvement, but room for more!! Thankfully, he is keeping his head up....I'm not sure how it would be if he was totally defeated!
