My son, Blair (glasses), had his first middle school wrestling dual on Monday! A 7th grade, varsity wrestler, he competed against two teams.
He was filling the 78 lb spot. A 74 pounder, he let a lighter, less experienced kid take it...Me, mom, Aubrey and Skyler showed up to a crowded gym. His teammates were bouncing on the mat with nervous energy. Blair was sitting in his seat holding his headgear.
I slid on to his seat and he curtly said, "You know I'm wrestling 78 lbs, right?"
"Yep, choose your moves smart dude, these 'big' 8th graders are going to come at you aggressively."
And that was that.
They took their seats across from the other team and the match started. Blair was second to wrestle and got a quick takedown on the whistle. He looked up at me in the stands and I gave him the sign to "cut him," which means, "let him up so you can practice your takedowns."
He jumped off his opponent and moved back to the center for the next takedown...and that's how the match went until the whistle blew...Blair took a win and was ready for the next team...except they didn't have a 78 pounder.
...but they had an 84 pounder!!! And Blair's teammate wasn't feeling up for it...so he moved up a second weight class!
"Don't cut him Blair! Get the takedown and go for the pin."
...I didn't want Blair getting caught.
Blair attacked and got the fastest pin of the night...and a great confidence booster going into his first middle school wrestling season.
Like anything in life, wrestling is all about following directions. Blair's pretty good at it, which has helped him be a solid wrestler. Though, the more he learns to listen and learn, the better he'll get. It's a constant battle of focus and repetition.
So is being healthy. If you want to reverse poor health caused by obesity, high blood sugar, and Type II diabetes, you have to FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!
