What makes this sport great is the same thing that makes it so stressful on us. The best sports are the emotional sports. The ones that make us "wear our heart on our sleeves". My son has leaped for joy after matches and he has cried his eyes out (we are working on handling that better) and I've told my wife that that's what emotion does.

I haved learned that when he wrestles I go up to the top of the gym so he can't hear me (he never listens to me anyway) and try to watch it as a fan. That three minutes is some of toughest three minutes of my day!
