this was my son's second year, still in D1. I have a hard time remembering that he IS 7, not 17. After listening to myself on video last year I decided that no one will care (or even remember) if he was a D1 state champ. What matters is that it is fun enough for him to still be wrestling at 17 when it matters a little more!

Now I sit quietly most of the time, cheering good effort and technique, trying to encourage him positively. Now if I could just get MOM to be quiet while she tapes!
