Is there a written rule that a wrestler has to shake his opponent's hand after a match and the opposing coach? other than just for sportsmanship. what if they lose and just want to walk off the mat?

My kids will shake the opposing coaches hand also. If they can shake their hand after a win, they can shake their hand after a loss.

I was always taught you have to be a good loser to become a good winner. I still hate losing though lol.

I have all my wrestler shake the referee's hand as well. IMO the refs, good, bad or ugly, put up with alot and the wrestler should show them respect by shaking their hand as well.

The kids have to shake the opponents hand. We make our kids shake the other coaches hand also. As mentioned earlier it is about not only about sportsmanship but also about respect for the sport and your opponent.
Wrestling is a very tough, demanding, emotional sport. We try to teach the kids that if you go out and compete to the best of your ability then you need to show respect to your opponent, the ref, and the other coach whether you win or lose. This is a hard concept to get across to new wrestlers but over time the kids start to get it. As kids get older they start to realize that their opponent is working, sweating, crying, etc. just as much as they are and that it takes courage to step on the mat one on one and put it all on the line. It is this warrior spirit that creates a common bond between wrestlers unlike any other sport that I have ever tried. As one gets older you come to respect that.
Learning to manage your emotions and show that respect and sportsmanship starts at a very young age for most.

This was a topic in the past but what about people that rather do the DAPS instead of a hand shake. I understand the arguement about illness but the minor chance of that does not out weigh the importance of the tradition of the handshake.

BLT,
Personally I prefer the good old fashioned handshake.....probably because of my age and up bringing. However, I don't mind the DAPS. For me both acknowledge the respect for your fellow warrior, the ref and the coach.
