Last night we went against Alta. Win or lose, each boy did their best and worked hard. So proud of my boys!

The hardest lessons in wrestling are the ones that don’t show up on the scoreboard.
The scoreboard shows wins and losses.
It does not show restraint.
It does not show discipline.
It does not show growth.
It doesn’t show the kid who stayed composed after a bad call.
It doesn’t show the kid who fought off their back after being dominated early.
It doesn’t show the kid who lost, but learned exactly why.
Wrestling teaches lessons quietly.
Often painfully.
Often without reward.
And that’s the point.
The most important skills your child develops in wrestling are internal.
Self-control under pressure.
Accountability after failure.
Ownership without excuses.
If you only judge progress by medals, you miss the real development happening underneath.
The scoreboard ends when the match ends.
The lessons last much longer.

Copied from Check them out. They always say exactly what I want to say but so eloquently.

It was a LONG two day tournament at Box Elder, but it is always fun to see my boys do so well. Here are a few of my favorites from the first day.

I believe this with all of my heart!

If you had to choose one sport for your child
Wrestling is the clearest answer

Not because it creates champions
But because it creates capable humans

Wrestling teaches personal responsibility early
There are no teammates to blame
No timeouts to hide in
No shortcuts

Every outcome is a direct reflection of preparation and effort

It teaches your child how to work
Not when it’s convenient
But when it’s uncomfortable

They learn how to fail in public
And return to practice the next day anyway
That skill alone separates kids later in life

Wrestling develops body awareness, discipline, and humility
But more importantly
It teaches resilience under pressure

Win or lose
Your child learns they can endure hard things
And remain composed while doing so

Very few sports offer that lesson so directly

Wrestling doesn’t promise trophies
It promises growth

And that is a far better investment than any medal could ever be

I love chunky little 6 month old babies. Their smiles and laughs are so infections.
