Preparing for High School at the youth level
WMSWrestling replied to Jacob's topic in Youth Archives
While I certainly agree with most of you, a few things to keep in mnd as well, we are there for the kids, not ourselves. As I tell them first and foremost they are student athletes and their grades are most important. I would rather see them bring in their books to practice and finish their school work. As a parent and or coach our actions and emotions affect our kids, they read into this and sometimes feed from it. We have all seen from time to time a parent or coach yelling or cursing at this little kid who just tried his heart out and came up short, he/she is already disappointed at the loss and now has this madman screaming at the top of his lungs at them. Keep it fun and positive, and take the time and patience to correct their mistakes. -
why is there not a true second at most tournaments?
WMSWrestling replied to demis mom's topic in Youth Archives
The most important thing to remember is they are still kids and third place is pretty darn good! Like I tell my kids, work harder and turn the loss into a positive and build upon it. Don't dwell on the fact that "well you should have been second" praise them for their accomplishments, practice on their mistakes. Congrats to your daughter on her accomplishments and stay positive.
