Keep encouraging(sp) your kids. Trust me, it pays off. If I had givin up wrestling, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'd probably be out on the streets somewhere. Wrestling can teach young kids a lot at a young age. For exammple: Self-dicipline, self-respect, self-determination. How to keep going when they have nothing left to give. Hoe to fight the good fight and walk off the mat w/ thier head held high, win or lose. If it hadn't of been for wrestling, there's no way I would have survived bootcamp. A lot of the things that I learned as a young kid from wrestling came back to play while I was in bootcamp. When you have a drill instructor in your face yelling at you at the top of his lungs, it takes a lot of self-dicipline to just stand there and take it. It takes a lot of self-determination just to wake up every morning to start training. It takes a lot to go that extra mile, to hump that extra 2 miles, to push yourself harder on your final PFT. So like I said, keep encouraging your kids, even if it's not in wrestling, whether it be in school, church, what whatever activity it may be, one day they will thank you, trust me. I know I thanked my parents.
