my son used to throw tantrums that would rival anything that you saw this weekend. i used to tell him that i love the fact that he hates to lose but when he losses he has to show respect to the other wrestler and coach for the job that they did this time and lets go work on what we have to do to change the outcome. he is in high school now and still cries when he losses, he now just goes off by himself to do it. holding him out would not let him learn to handle it if he isnt given the chance to lose.
