Never give up. Don't ever give up!
As a married straight guy completely at ease with his sexuality and masculinity, I have never felt offended by the inclusion of LGBTQ folks in our society. In fact, I welcome them! I do wonder, however, what kind of repressed trauma one has to carry in their heart to have such
Darrion Caldwell pinning Brent Metcalf was a major major story 17 years (how) ago. Lost in the importance of a win that big for DC was the hilarious officiating mechanics used to call the pin. I have probably watched this clip 50 times and so much of the focus is looking at Metcalf's shoulders you don't realize the ref is basically on top of Brent with a serious amount of physical contact before calling the pin. I mean he got up in there 🤣🤣An officiating "no-no." That combined with the fact that Metcalf's entire back was on Caldwell's chest make this a pretty hysterical pinfall call, all things considered.
Ramos over Lee, Hendrickson over Gable
And Duke over Yianni to name a few recent “upsets.” I will say it until my last breath. Everyone is beatable! Nobody is safe inside that circle. What a sport!!! What a sport!!! I mean what a sport!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horrible take.. shit happens in wrestling this dude is an olympic champ and has deared to do things no other person has. He is an incredible person and outstanding athlete and still one of the greatest to ever do it. Such a P.O.S. For saying something like that. For real!
As wrestling tournaments begin to fill your weekends….
A reminder for us all.
Most days the only thing your kids need to hear after a competition is I’m proud of you, I believe in you, stay the course, trust the process.
They have a coach for a reason. If that coach has developed a good relationship with them and not a transactional/result based one then they will accept their criticism better over yours any day. Be their safe space to land versus their ride home to dread.
Maybe you’re their coach and their parent? If they know your love and reaction to their performance isn’t based on a result that relationship can be healthy and become meaningful time you spend together. If that relationship is based in fear of displeasing you then you will become a conversation to avoid and anxiety for the child to manage. Will there be rocky moments? For sure. Have we had our own rocky moments? Yes. Does it open up the opportunity for deeper conversations and the practice of apologizing and forgiveness- absolutely.
So again I say: ᴍᴏꜱᴛ ᴅᴀʏꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴʟʏ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴋɪᴅꜱ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʜᴇᴀʀ ᴀꜰᴛᴇʀ ᴀ ᴄᴏᴍᴘᴇᴛɪᴛɪᴏɴ ɪꜱ ɪ’ᴍ ᴘʀᴏᴜᴅ ᴏꜰ ʏᴏᴜ, ɪ ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜ, ꜱᴛᴀʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴜʀꜱᴇ, ᴛʀᴜꜱᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴄᴇꜱꜱ.
By most days, I mean every time they didn’t achieve what they set out for, which is going to mean you’re gonna say it a lot. It’s not too late to start practicing now.
