Kids first! I like it. I've been there when we arrived at a gym at 7 am, and left at 8 pm. It can make for a long day, in being a wrestling parent, a coach, and tournament staff. In the end at least our kids got to wrestle, and that although we may be tired, we're not dead, and we'll be home soon!

Stay positive! They'll be good tourneys and not so good tourneys, but at least we can all say we've been there.
