Congrats to your brother...he looked really good the two times we saw him in person.
I think it's always hard to beat someone multiple times. They maybe are more motivated....and especially with kids, I think they overlook a kid they have beaten.
It doesn't always work out. Last week was our last tournament for the hear(unless he wants to do a little freestyle). There aren't many tournaments left and there were some really good kids at a tourn that has been pretty much a locals type. My kid had a boy that had hip tossed and pinned him in Jan. He was excited for the rematch. Took the boy down with a high c change double he had struggled with lately...kid escapes, my boy hits him with a double...the boy stands up, faces him puts in and over under and hits him with a lateral drop and pinned him. My kid was upset, but I explained that he learned more in that match than beating in some fish. Next year will go better with him being on the top end of the age group....and summer wrestling.
I'm always shocked at how many matches some of these 3-4th grade boys have had in a season....several in the 90+ matches...my kid has around 30 and I thought that was a lot.
I've enjoyed this season. Several of the boys I've helped coach are making big improvement and finished off the year beating some really good club kids. I enjoyed that a lot.
Short break and then back at it.
