My boy is 8u wrestles 58 but weighs about 55.5. My only concern is that I know how good Jake and others are. Is it going to do the kid any good outside of extra conditioning to go get thumped by much more expierenced and better wrestlers?
I'm not scared of the competetion but seeing how I started him kind of later than many of the successful wrestlers I see. I wonder if I might destroy his self confidence rather than show him what it means to kick it up a couple notches. I try to push and back off with my overlying goal to always make it so he enjoys it so that he sticks with it and doesn't want to quit. Wrestling is much harder on little kids than most team sports in my opinion.
Thoughts?
