My son Shawn is 12 and this is his 1st time to go out for wrestling. He has been playing baseball since he was 5 and football since was 7 so needless to say I know nothing about wrestling or what to yell during a match. His 1st match was a week ago and I set there and thought to myself “what am I suppose to yell during his match” so I just set there and listen to what all the other parents were yelling and just yelled along with them.
It was such a relief to find your wonderful blog hopefully I will learn what to yell from everyone on this blog……

As usual, you have managed to make me laugh out loud. Repeatedly. It was very refreshing!

Go Ethan! Rear-naked choke! Doesn’t matter if it’s illegal! Guts and glory, baby!

I was a wrestler, the only girl wrestler on the team, when I was 15..um… several years ago. Both of my brothers were, too. Somedays I really miss it! Nothing like pounding the heck out of someone for fun!:) Especially when it’s amicable. My 2 oldest sons (9 and 7)took wrestling (before gas prices went so astronomical) and my husband and brother currently train them in MMA when their schedules allow. Thanks for that memory! Great post! I need to post on that…. so dainty and delicate for a preacher’s wife….

Kelly – he has struggled. It is his first time out and most of these kids have been wrestling since they were four years old – but he has won a few and managed to last all three rounds in most of his matches. I am very proud of him for giving it a try. Plus the crazy workouts his coaches put these wrestlers through have made him stronger and extremely fit – so yay!
