Bliss and Zade are wrestling with a club team and are loving it. Now, they aren't catching on as quickly as their father would like...but what can I say, they are partially me and I have to put forth great effort to be considered athletic.
Like I said, they love it and that's what matters.
Last weekend was their first tournament and they did okay. Zade wrestled 3 times and Bliss wrestled twice. No tears shed so I considered that a plus. They are quite motivated by those medals, so I'm hoping they will be more motivated to try harder.
I had my own wrestling match with Kipp and Isla up in the bleachers. I came out victorious...but barely! I was a nervous wreck too. I figured I'd be nervous, but oh my, it was if I was out there myself. I think the extra nerves were the fact that it's a solo sport. If you do poorly it's all on you, no "well, shucks, your TEAM lost." And it's intense...all over in 3 minutes or a pin. And, not to brag on Blasen, but he was REALLY good...as in he wrestled from age 6-18 and was never pinned, never. I was afraid that it would be a lot of pressure for them, but they handled it well.
We go back for another round this weekend. Wish us luck!
