first off i want to say that my name is kc roberts. my sons have wrestled for a number of years, and grown up and have sons of their own who wrestle, and i enjoy watching them as much as i have my own sons. i attend a lot of tournaments for the love of wrestling and nothing better to do than to watch the young.
yes there are kids who vent their frustration of losing that attracts attention, and sometimes for than others, and yes it should be addressed by the clubs if it is taken on the mat, or at someone else. parents and coaches do over react to the kids a lot, but than there are those that do not.
i have 2 questions for coach isom.
1. when and in what manner is a wrestler allowed to vent their frustartion?
2. is it not fair to say that if the loser is not allowed emotion, than the winner should not be allowed either because that is just a disruptive at times, and also when a winner show emotion if not a dig so to speak at the wrestler who lost.
(meaning ha ha i beat you?)
i for one agree whole heartedly with the rest of the post that the kids should not be slammed so to speak. no wrestler deserves it.
i also want to take this moment to thank all the wrestlers for the enjoyment that you have given me these past 5 years.
