I wasnt sure if this was a great topic to post until now. I am glad I am not the only one that sees this. I think it is good to cheer and coach on your child. It is after the match is done and over that concerns me. I am divorced from my sons father and it just ****es me off when he is sitting there crying and his dad is screaming at him and not ever praising him. My son sometimes gets to me before his father and is crying saying his dad is going to yell at him saying he gave up on a losing match. I tell him "you did your best and you can try to do better next time". I know that his dad screaming and yelling at him will soon bite him in the butt as my son gets older (he is 9 1/2 yrs old). My sons plans not to wrestle next year cause he cant do good enough in his dads eyes. I hope he changes his mind.....thanks for the replies.
