Nicholas just started wrestling a few weeks ago.  He is the kind of kid that needs to be pushed a little to get involved with things, but after he is pushed a little, he does just fine.  One of the hard parts of being a parent is to know how much to push your child to do something, when to push them, and when to back off.  Vicki and I are just beginning those skills...it's good to have friends that can be honest with you about how to navigate these kinds of issues.

Nicholas was hesitant at first with wrestling.  Wrestling practice consists of exercise and skills practicing...single leg take downs, double leg takedowns, and sprawling.  He said he was a little bored...until he actually got to wrestle someone.  I got his first "wrestling match" on video.
