Yes Cokeley, as my signature states .. There are no losers in wrestling, only winners and learners, but never did I mention there are no poor officials robbing a kid of a victory he knows he deserved. How is that a good thing??? What is that teaching them??? Work hard and do your best and you MIGHT get a fair shake.. not my son thank you.
Scott,
Wrestling is not unlike life. Not everything you will encounter will be fair and just. Unfortunately the distribution of officials is a bell curve. Of course that means those in the left tail will not be very good. Use wrestling to teach the lessons your son will surely encounter in life. Take the good with the bad. I am not saying we shouldn't work to improve things but certainly every wrestler has the opportunity to ensure that even the worst official would not be able to deny them of victory.
