Sometimes you're the windshield......

Sometimes you're the bug!!!

Yeah Josh had a rough day yesterday on the mat. He has had such an awesome year and doing very well. It is hard to have the rough days, but it also reminds you that is why you have to keep going to practice, and put 100% into each one.
It is hard to be 8 years old and wanting to be so devoted to something, that is what makes Josh a hero to me. Even thru his tears yesterday he told me he wanted to wrestle more, after losing 2 matches and having his neck hurt, his nose hurt and mostly his pride hurt....he wanted to wrestle his 3rd match, which I didn't let him for many reasons. I didn't want him to really get hurt and I wanted to make that call , because I know he would have gone and wrestled it.

Josh wasn't focused yesterday, he wasn't wrestling like I know he can and having only 5 hours sleep the night before didn't help. So I made the "parent" call and he didn't wrestle.

It was hard and my heart ached, but I know it was the best decision for him on that day.

So we will be going again next week, he will practice hard this week and probably face the same guys again, I told him the key now is to improve on last week and each week forward. These boys are a year older or more and it will be a great goal this summer...who knows he might even get the best of them by the end of the summer! I like that he has something to work for....it gives him new goals and reason to practice hard.

It is a great motivator. You want to be a winner, so you have to figure out how to reach your goal. I love his heart and determination. I love that he is doing this because he wants to, and not because he thinks this is what his Moms want. We have had this discussion often, and he knows whatever he decides is ok with us, as long as whatever he decides he gives 100%. So we will see what next week brings...maybe he will be the windshield!!
