Much said about sportsmanship. I agree with those who remind us that the younger kids especially must learn to deal with losing as well as winning. How they display their "dealing with it" takes time to develop an acceptable attitude and some maturity. Most are extremely committed and wrestling becomes an intensely emotional experience for them. But, there is a major difference between the tantrum throwers and the ones who express disappointment at losing. I guess when it comes down to it, most of the posts on this topic have a lot of truth and wisdom to them. We just have to keep teaching the kids what it's all about. Most will learn & express themselves correctly.
