Yesterday was a wrestling tournament in Payson. Zeak has learned a lot wrestling and he is enjoying it. Since Christmas we have had some hard matches and little success in the winners circle. I am amazed at Zeak's great attitude and willingness to learn. Sometimes he doesn't understand but he never gets down and out because he looses. He is a great looser which makes him a great winner in my eyes. He just keeps his head up and goes into each match like he is the best wrestler in the world. When he comes up from a pin he never tears up and he looks to the coaches for direction and advice on what to do better next time. Thanks to some great coaches and parents who have helped Zeak. Dan and I know nothing about wrestling and so we are so grateful to so many who have helped Zeak. Coach Winn and Coach Williams are so good with the boys. I have never seen them yell or get upset at a boy for loosing they are so good to tell them what they did right and what they need to do to get out of that loosing situation. There are so many dads who have been right by Dan and coaches helping Zeak out. It has been fun to watch him learn and grow. Yesterday he took 2nd in the tournament and was so excited. Hopefully that is a good note to go to region and all of his hard work will pay off. As a mom it is hard for me to really enjoy this sport but I have enjoyed the growth and positive change it has brought to my son. I am grateful that we live in a community where it is a tribe raising a boy.
