Of all the talk about having a 6-under state tournament, it's simply making me wish that my 6-58lb boy would have the desire to keep going. We have been to 12 tournaments this year and he typically does well. The last couple of tournaments every time he comes up against a solid kid, he starts crying and you all know what that leads to. An angry dad, mom, and young wrestler. Not a good mix for a 2-3 hour trip home! I have come to realize (with help from my wife of coarse) that maybe my son is wrestling for me now, instead of for himself, like he did earlier in the season. So now, we are done, and its killing me!!!
My point... Enjoy the time you have watching your kid wrestle, it could be over before you know it. I have asked several kind coach's, dads about what I can do about our situation, and the answear I always get is, HE IS 6 YRS OLD! I have thought long and hard about it, and they are right-thanks!
