How to Wrestle

by

Hyrum

1. Practice with your dad. Sisters can wrestle by themselves.

 2. Make wrestling...marks(?)/lines/whatever on Mom's kitchen floor with electrical tape. And have Dad do it, so then I won't get in trouble :)

 3. Practice somersaults....

 ....off the couch.

 4. Practice wrestling with your buddies on the mat! (Trevor Bankhead)

5.Wait your turn at the wrestling match with Park Valley/Snowville.





6. And even if you get pinned...a lot....you get a medal for your hard work.

 7. Go Hyrum!!

(*Mom's note: Hyrum did so good this year!! He started the season discouraged because he couldn't do a somersault. He put his mind to it, practiced, and now he does somersaults all over the place! He taught his sisters how to do them as well. He went to his first match in Declo. The first kid he wrestled was GOOD. Hyrum was crying hard and didn't realize how HARD it was. But he did a little better the next round. And the last round he was doing great. The next week, the match was against Snowville/Park Valley.  He tried his little heart out, but was pinned all 4 times. He didn't cry once, though and tried the next time. He stayed excited, even after losing and is ready to do wrestling again next year. He was sad it was over! What a kid!!)
