I know as parents we put a lot of pressure on our wrestlers to get to state. Going into districts we knew we had to win that first match or it was going to be a tough back side.Being first seed you have very high expectations but it is proven that you have to be on your toes all of the time. Our son lost this weekend and it is very hard to except. It is also much harder to believe that maybe it just wasn't meant to be or that it wasn't his time. It was also a lesson in being humble. Our wrestler went into this with the wrong attitude- and it started with practice the week before- not practicing to the full extent because he thought he knew it all. He is now aware that the laziness last week affected the outcome of his performance. I know it was a real shocker for him to go home without a metal or going to state but hopefully he has learned not to be so high on himself and also us as parents.
Good luck to all of the wrestlers this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!
