winning
Question
my first turnament was last week and it was my first but when I won I wasn't happy because it was two other kids first time to and they both are my friends but when I won they was sad and it made me feel like crap what should I do.
Answer
How old are you Tyrell? And why are you wrestling? Because you were in a match and you scored more points than the other person should never be equated to a personal sense of value. Because you won the match just means that you were more skilled and more capable of scoring points. It has nothing to do with who you are. If you felt bad you are putting too much emphasis on winning and you have yet to understand the real value of this sport. It is about exercise, it is about discipline, it is about becoming better each time you compete and as you do that you will find why wrestlers love the sport. It reveals to them qualities about themselves that they can find no where else.
My advise to you is to relax, have fun and stop worrying about the outcome of the tournament. Focus on your own skills and if you are getting better and if you like the sport.
