NO Parent, coach, or adult should directly talk to a young athlete in any sport in a manner that could be deemed as negative. Creach, whether or not this "young" wrestler was too good to be in Novice, you had no right to talk to him and tell him that! Period no excuse! You were obviously upset and if you have a problem, you go to his coach. You are an adult and you should know better. Remember this kid was only 8yrs old. Any adult can and will intimidate a child and it sounds like that is what your intentions were. Whether or not you think you "yelled" and "got in his face" is besides the point, that is how it came across and perceived. You owe this kid an apology either in person or at least on this thread.
