Crying, oh boy have I seen crying...lol. My son started when he was 5. Won his first match ever, no problem. Second match against a 2nd yr wrestler we were ahead and the other kid was working hard then here came the tears. Kolton got stuck and then more tears. Couldn't get him together and had to forfiet his 3rd match. My wife in the stands with our new born came down and talked to him. He went out on the mat for his 4th, crying, took the kid down, crying, pinned the kid , crying, got his hand raised, crying. We went to a tourn every weekend his 1st yr, opens and novice. He went to subs at 5 and with only 4 kids he lost em all and went to district. We wrestled our way thru the tears not giving him the option to quit. He accepts wrestling as the thing you just do now. He doesn't know any different, just knows he is a wrestler and has been since soon after he could walk.
We still have the tears from time to time and he knows it is the only thing that makes me mad. Not the crying, but crying on the mat. I tell him to be strong and not let the other guy see you cry, we can go off in the hallway and let it out, but be tuff on the mat. I have seen the seniors in high school shed tears so I don't expect it to completely go away, but I hope it just becomes fewer and less dramatic.
