If you read my post about finding the goodness in loss or hard moments I said I would share this video.

My husband Doug has been at the top of this sport. He has won a state title, a NCAA title, the US Open, World Team trials, placed 5th at the world, and was an Olympian.

Through all that he has experienced his fair share of losses and getting through them. Our son participated in his first HS state tournament and although he came up short taking home 2nd, Doug did not have a lack of words to share with other parents who have or will go through it from his new perspective of a parent of a HS athlete.

So much goodness packed into this. I challenge every parent to watch it, especially those with kids in some sort of even/sport that they compete in. Doug not only talks about validating your child's feelings because of the work it took to get there, but he speaks to the things he as an athlete experienced just now from the perspective of a parent of a High School kid.

By far this is one of his best talks and knowing how his heart hurt for his kid, while probably tuning back into some of his own losses made this even more relatable.

I know one thing- I'm lucky that our kids, both our own and the ones that will be joining us at UNI eventually have someone like him under the tunnel in these moments. Although my heart ached matside and I was probably 30 yards from my kid in one of his most vulnerable and defeating moments, I knew he didn't need me, he needed him.

@Plainswrestling This is so true. Nebraska needs to be considered among the elite in our sport, but our Fanbase has to believe it.

Great programs produce. That it’s. They produce. Blown away not only by James and Jordan but our coaching staff and team. Husker wrestling is a special program man #GBR

There are very few things that build strength & character like this sport. It was a blessing to me in JR high and high school.

Been off the map the past few days. Thinking, reflecting. I chased after the giant, failed, and I’m better man because of it. It’s been a joy. Thank you for everything @HuskerWrestling
