Both my boys are wrestling this year and Tanner is helping coach. Oh the joys of boys!
Tanner loves it, Hudson LOVES it, Bryson is okay with it (so far).
Hudson absolutely enjoys every second of practice and meets, he loves hanging out with the older boys and his new GFF is the biggest kid on the team, an 8th grader named Kyle. Kyle calls Huddy his pet monkey because he's always climbing on him. I was watching him at the meet last night and he'll just run up to one of the older boys, jump on their back, and they start wrestling. The older boys are all great with him and its a little boys' dream come true.
This is the only match Bryson has won this year (out of 5). Poor Bryson weighs so much that he usually gets stuck wrestling 7th and 8th graders who are much more technical than him. He takes it pretty hard and thinks he "sucks" at wrestling. But he's a trooper to put up with it and one of these years it'll pay off.
This was the last round of Bryson's first match of the year. This is a 7th grader. B is in 3rd.
Getcha head in the game...
Hudson is such a little stud. He totally pays attention during practice and he really does use moves during the match. He stays in control enough to pick up his head when his coaches are yelling at him and do what they're telling him to do.
"Dad I wanna go out there so bad..."
Because Huddy is not in Kindergarten yet and only weighs 44 lbs. there aren't very many kids his size to wrestle. This other kid is one of the other teams coaches kid. They've wrestled twice.
His first match of the year. Beat him 13-0 I think. He was sooooo happy. The first two meets he wrestled this same kid and won both matches, the second meet there wasn't anyone for him to wrestle, and last night he wrestled a 2nd grader who was a head taller and had 20 lbs on him. He lost but Hud just shook it off like it was no big deal.
I think Hudson will stick with it and really excel at wrestling. He's just a scrapper like that and has the confidence. Bryson is built totally different and if he has to keep wrestling kids that are 5 grades ahead of him I think he'll pick a different sport. He told me he wants to try basketball next year.....
