I wouldn't be considered an old school parent but I can tell you that I was always held accountable for my actions, sometimes with methods that would seem very extreme in this day and age. If my wrestlers disrespect me they can expect me to take action and sometimes IT'S NOT ALL NICE! In fact if you were passing by smokeycabin you may not like whats being said. You also may not know what transpired to bring about the circumstances for which your witnessing. All I can say is that some kids are very emotional and competitive, it's just in there nature. My son and many of my kids hate to loose ( even though I stress that every tournament Is practice for the big show and that losses only make us better). I feel it is my responsibility as a coach and a father to correct any negative action conveyed by my wrestlers. I want my young men to become men of dignity and young men who take responsibility for there actions and the way they carry themselves not only now but in there adult lives as well. Next time you see a parent who is talking to there kid and it may not be appropriate to you, don't judge that parent before you walked and day in there shoes.STICK THAT IN YOUR KANSAS LAW BOOK. By the way I chew mint Skoal, I'm blue collar to the core, I believe in a hard days work, I've never backed down from a fight,and if my name and redneck were in the same sentence I would be obliged to be proud of that.
