Tell him that he had a great year, wrestled his little tail off all year long, and that sometimes things just don't work out how they should or how you would like them to. Let him know it won't be the first time, and it probably won't be the last that he draws the the tougher path. If he really loves the sport, he will continue to wrestle and there will be many proud moments for him along the way. Most importantly, tell him you love him, and that is what really matters.
