Wrestling Season

This was Jackson's third year doing wrestling, and each year he gets better and better.  

Jackson is in a tough spot because he is short and stocky.  He weighs more than most kids his age, but is also a lot shorter.  He is almost always wrestling kids older and much taller than he is.  He first year wrestling he did not win a single match.  It was hard to watch each week and see the disappointment in his face.  He would always ask us if he'd even win a match. and we'd always tell him yes, but he has to keep working hard and staying focused. That he did.  His second year, he finally won a couple, and his third year this kid won more times than not and places top 4 or better in every tournament. He even  placed first in one. I am super excited for next year, and really hoping to get Josh to try it out too!
