It can be tough to maintain perspective with your own kids. Family system problems are definitely apparent many times and it is sad to see the interactions referenced.

I am in a unique situation in that I have several kids who live with me and my family as well as my son who wrestle. I am just as emotionally invested in these young men as my son but due to their inexperience winning a lot of matches may not be in the picture.

Developing a winning attitudes, maintaining composure, being coachable and creating work ethic are the medals my group home boys take away from the sport.

I have seen some massive growth in the kids i live and work with regardless of winning or losing. This is the true benefit and beauty of this sport. It gives me and my wife the ability to truly correlate hard work and results through the great sport of wrestling.
