We went to Cael's first wrestling meet today. We have this crazy long season with practices 3x per week for 3 months and only have 4 meets. They roped me (Ben) into coaching, which has been fun but a lot of time. Cael was really excited to wrestle. He only weighs 50 lbs. They ran the meet like a round robin, trying to get every child 3 matches. Cael pinned his first two matches easily and was really excited for the 3rd. Right before he was supposed to wrestle the third match he told me he wasn't going to pin this one right away but would play with him for a bit to get some extra wrestling time in. Then I found out that the boy he was supposed to wrestle had gone home early from the meet and Cael would not have a third match. When I told Cael he started crying. He really wanted to wrestle. The first video is of Cael's first ever wrestling match. At the end of the match you will see he just stands there not knowing what to do. The second video is of him after the second match and how excited he was to win, running into his dad/coaches arms. Sorry, no video of him crying after his third match because his opponent didn't show up. It was a fun day.
