To be totally honest, I do think we should reinstate the unlimited "thumbs down" policy and have everyone go back to the front of the line like before. I will never forget DD's death and think we should be careful, but we've got to fight like we used to. I think the new blood on the staff will help a lot with that -- the new coaches won't be as hesitant to push guys to their breaking point because of bad memories.

As far as the water breaks, I think we should keep them -- that should be enough to keep everyone safe. We should just work harder between them.

I learned to love the intensity. When you dove out on that mat, with you hands hitting last, you never felt anything. If you could make it through without a single repeat... it was a big day.

Totally agree. I actually miss mats in a sort of masochistic way -- there's a sort of victory that comes with doing well. I'll always be as proud that I made it through mats as anything else in my athletic career, to be honest. There is a sort of mental lightbulb that goes on in one's freshman year mats when one thinks it's impossible to go on. By refusing to quit and just pushing, there's a sort of "zone" of invincibility that comes after the body can't go any further but the mind just keeps pushing. I'll never forget it, and that realization will apply to everything I ever do.

Wr, great posts on this stuff, thanks. Ive been thinking some of the same stuff for years and noticed quite a drop off in our teams toughness and agressiveness. There has to be some happy medium to go back to and create what were missing without oveddoing it.

terrific insight in this thread.

Thanks for posting the information. I have often wondered if DD's passing had the effect it seemed to.

yeah, i think if kids just get reminded to notice serious side effects, there are easy ways to test VERY QUICKLY for dehydration and temperature spikes as well (sorry if im drilling the medical aspect)
