      He made his father proud. He said his dad got very sick, do you happen to know what sickness he had?

    How awesome to see real men who are vulnerable and not afraid to show their feelings. Thanks for the opportunity to listen and feel the love you have for your dad and everything else

    Nothing like losing a father. It's like someone took your umbrella away in a rain storm.

    Dake and Snyder, one last go for Olympic gold at the end of our golden era of USA wrestling. Not to say the future is not bright or even more promising but the period of JB DT Snyder Dake and J’den is so special. Good luck to Dake and Snyder in Paris

    • @brendan638
      @brendan638 13 дней назад +1

      Snyder is on the record of saying he wants to compete for many more Olympic cycles after this. That being said, I agree. I’ll miss seeing JB, DT, Cox and Dake compete.

    • @tylernicholson1155
      @tylernicholson1155 12 дней назад +1

      Snyder is 28, he has at least one more trip to the Olympics. Next Olympics he'll still be younger than Dake is right now.

    • @fredlima3754

    Wow, what a man......to stand up there and honor his father by giving this interview. Thank you for laying it all out there, just like you do on the mat. I looked up his father's obituary, and I could see his father in Kyle. May God bless you and your family in this difficult time.

    @smoore8 13 дней назад +11

    Dake has long been my favorite wrestler, from style to how he trains and approaches the sport. This really hits home and Kyle is at that age when you realize there’s more to life than wrestling. It’s awesome to see his evolution as a man. Go win gold man!!

    I lost my Dad way too soon also. He was also in a lot of pain and the only thing I can offer Kyle is that his Dad is in no more pain. He wouldn’t want to be suffering or be a burden to anyone.
    You will always be able to talk to him and have those conversations because you know what he’ll say.
    Our heartfelt condolences to Kyle and his whole Family. God Bless.

    • @TstanDa-Man
      @TstanDa-Man 10 дней назад

      Same here. I Was only 16 when my father passed and he was only 46 from disease which is the worst way to go. It did help to know he wasn’t in pain. I couldn’t agree more with your words.

    Kyle, I’m sorry for your loss and also very proud of you and your accomplishments. I met your dad at Kent State…worked with him in the bars as well as many other wrestlers from Kent State. He was a strong silent person who knew his value and worth and never needed to flaunt it. Even though I’ve never met you in person I can tell that are very much like him in many many ways and I know he is proud of you. Be well and may God continue to bless you and yours! 💪🏻

    Kyle my father passed when I was 16. I feel for you. It’s going to be really difficult these next few months and I wish I could say it gets easier to deal with the loss but it doesn’t. You just get used to the feeling. Knowing he is by your side watching over you and your family will give you the strength to carry on. You are a great man and he did his job well as a father and raised you correctly. Keep making your fans, friends, and family proud ✌🏼🤙🏼

    I rolled around with Kyle maybe about 15 years ago at the Cornell Wrestling Club. He was a 120 pound high school senior at the time. It's just incredible to have followed his progression and transformations throughout the years. His character and values are unparalleled and will certainly be instrumental in helping him navigate this simultaneously devastating, impossible, and exciting moment.

    Really sorry to hear that news Kyle, no doubt you've made your Dad proud every step of the way. He'll always be there in spirit too. A friends Mother just passed and this poem was shared: Ascension - And if i go, while you're still here....Know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure - behind a veil you cannot see through. You will not see me, so you must have faith. I wait for the time when we can soar together again - both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to its fullest and when you need me, just whisper my name. In your heart....I will be there. "Colleen Hitchcock"
