I love the update.. And yes, at 10 they will run into kids who are technically not as good, but win on attitude. Don't worry about it, in short order the coaches will coach your son through such things and teach him to use their aggressiveness to their advantage. Nothing wrong with being aggressive, but there's everything wrong with being predictable and not having the skills to make the stick.
Here's a pic of my son (burgundy singlet) at 10/60 bridging-out of a match that he won because he held that bridge for nearly 25 seconds. He learned a lot that day, and one lesson was not to get too cocky because your're up by 6 points. He also learned that just because you're pretty good doesn't mean that other kids aren't good too. This was a friend of his to boot! He lucked-out because the kid thought my son couldn't hold the bridge. Well, he did, the the five points the other kid got for all this effort left him one short of the match going into OT. It was a great day and 25 seconds of my life that took more than a year off the end of my life! I coached him a LOT in football, baseball and wrestling and wrestling, BY FAR, is the one that put more gray hair on me! LOL!! Quote:
