Doug,
Good post, life is not going to cuddle anybody and give them participation awards when they screw up at work or act like an butt!!! I get in my kids face and yell at him but not for the sport, I do it for the behavior!! A win at sub-districts with jumping up and down showing a number 1 on his hands got the same reprimand and disapproval from me as storming off the mat after a loss. To disrespect another wrestler or coach is unacceptable to me and I will not tolerate it. In my opinion there are many ways to disrespect an opponent that may not be noticed by all, not giving it your all, cheap shots, taunting, and then being a bad winner or loser, none of these things is tolerated in my house or on the mat by any kids that I coach. Every kid that steps on the mat deserves the same respect everytime!!!! Jmo
