Wrestling Ethan


Ethan decided to join the wrestling team this year. He hasn't won a single match. In fact, he hasn't lasted more than a minute in any of his matches. We couldn't be more proud of him, though. He gives 100% every time and has stuck to it even though it's been a little discouraging and hard. We knew going into the season that he would struggle a little because he only weighs 60 lbs. He is usually out-weighed by at least 10 lbs. every time he wrestles. He also has weak muscle tone which makes it hard for him. He's been a trooper, though, and has enjoyed being part of a team. He has a great coach who has been very encouraging. Ethan is the only guy on the team who has been told by Coach Reasonover to eat as much as he wants! He told Ethan to eat a peanut butter and banana sandwich or two every night before bed and wash it down with a glass of whole milk. We'll see if we can finally put some weight on that kid!
