I have to agree that there is to much criticism and negative things said to the kids after they lose a match. I have always told my boys that it doesn't matter to me if they lose or win because everybody is going to. The only thing I ask of them is to go out and wrestle their hardest and don't give up. I was a wrestler in high school and never made it to state. Not saying I didn't put effort towards it, it just didn't go my way. I've always told my boys to respect people. Sure they get dissappointed at themselves for losing but that is life. As a coach, dad it is my duty to help them through it and to help make them better kids. I get really emotinal when it comes to kids because I have a soft heart. I'm a big kid myself. So it is important to be the role model for these kids and not be negative on the way they've wrestled just make them better
