1st year kid 7 or 8 years old comes staggering off the mat holding his belly like Fred Sanford (Sanford and Son TV series) held his heart and one hand in the air like a bull rider (Elizabeth I am coming to see you - she is in heaven). I ask the wrestler what is the problem. He said Coach he was choking my tummy (tight waist). I said go back out there and get on top of him and choke his tummy and then put the half on him and pin him. I looked at the coach beside me and we both busted a gut.

Another good one I had a few years back - our novice guy was pinning a wrestler chest to chest and out to the side , but he was on his knees. I told him to get on his toes. He got off the guy and stood up and started dancing around on his toes. - 1 escape for the other guy. He did what I asked - it was a little tough to coach the rest that match also - again, I was laughing so hard as he danced around.
