Great advice for all to follow sportfan02 I have 2 boys that wrestle and they "KNOW" that a melt down "WILL" bring the clubs coaching staff (LCWC) down on them "FAST" but fair. This is something that is at least highlighted at every pratice ie: some form of sportmanship on or off the mat. I try to tell my boys that "you wrestled well" or "I have seen you wrestle better". Then I ask them what do you think happened? They usally are right on with what happened ie the kid was stronger,faster or more mat time. Ok now that you know what he/she got you with "TODAY" are "YOU" going to allow them to get you with the samething tomorrow?? "OK you need to get with coach and work on that (what ever that is)the choice is yours get better or get bet again.(with the same thing). So far this has seemed to work. Neither the coaches or I have had to pull either of them from a event but they know that is stillout there for us to use.
