That's called failing to take accountability. For all his talent, Chittum would consistently cost himself matches with repeat mistakes/bad decisions. Not being on the podium is his own doing, no one elses.
Maybe dad should look at his son and ask him why he isn’t making the podium. It isn’t always the coaches fault
Sorry guys, I misread. The above is 100% true but that's also just not how it works in that family. His dad is 100% the reason he was even in Ames in the first place.
