I have come to have a love/hate relationship with this sport.
What I LOVE: It is building character in our boys. They win some, they lose some, and it teaches them to remain humble regardless. Failing 'safely' over and over again. We realize the importance in our children needing to learn how to handle failure at an early age so they can utilize their supports and learn from their mistakes. Wrestling is for everyone: girl, boy, little, big, young, old. It doesn't matter. Wrestling is a team sport with an individual aspect. I love this about the sport. This sport is what you make of it. If you work hard, you will see progress. If you don't, you won't. Bottom line. What I REALLY DISLIKE about this sport: Our boys get hurt. Nobody wants to see their kids eyes filled with tears and bruised up and down. Our boys fail over and over again. I know it is good, but I still really dislike it. I mentioned it above as one of the things I LOVE about the sport, but boy it stinks to watch your kids fail over and over again. The LOVE of this sport outweighs the DISLIKE. And so we continue . . . #wrestling #boymom #lifewithboys
