Sounds like maybe you have some insight, maybe you should say something! There needs to be a paradigm shift in youth wrestling (probably sports in general). Unfortunately, when dads/coaches have the Emotional Intelligence of the 10 year olds they're coaching, this is what happens

There needs to be a paradigm shift in youth wrestling (probably sports in general). Unfortunately, when dads/coaches have the Emotional Intelligence of the 10 year olds they're coaching, this is what happens I coached for a long time. I had a no parents in the wrestling room rule. When I got my coaching certifications, most of the info they covered was about why coaching your own kid is a risky situation. That dad needs to be in the stands. If I see someone hit a puppy, I say something. Same thing if I see someone abuse their kid. If I was there, I would have said something. My mouth has caused me plenty of trouble in my life and it will probably be the case a few more times before I kick the bucket. If you see something like this happen but decide to not get involved, you are probably a weak man. Many ways to speak up, but speak up you must. 2

lowSingle155 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Still a huge POS for that, but looks like he posted an apology and is stepping back from coaching (if he's not banned). https://www.instagram.com/p/DWzWJ4nDMQ3/?igsh=MTZ1bGc2N2Jmc3lmag==

Supporting your kid... that'll have a MUCH bigger impact on his success in the sport(or... in general) vs acting like a clown because he lost a match at a child.

About as good as he could have done given that video. 2

Adidas Nationals is investigating and some indicated he was also reported to Safe Sport. At least he did the right thing and issued an apology and stepped away. He was probably going to have to do it anyway....and he may be forced to take a longer break than he thought. I hope he learns from this, not only to be a better coach but a better dad. He was correct, he embarrassed his son more than anything. Can't imagine going to school the next day. Oh... and getting a phone call from Mocco probably wasn't fun...mostly because he didnt' leave his shoes on the mat and can still lace them up... Edited April 6 by Idaho Sponsored by INTERMAT

You're a grown man. Nobody should have to tell you to not grab your son by the head and throw him down. At what point for some of these people do they have to realize it's not okay to take your anger out on your child period? At the end of the day it's just a sport like relax dude 1 1

He was obviously emotional and... acted irrationally and he should be suspended for a long time. And no, you certainly aren't obligated to care about his apology. It's more important how he makes it up to his son than what he says online. 1

Let's say this is the first time he's done anything of the sort. I don't really care about apologies. In this day and age it's hard to tell what's genuine and what's to save face. Dude needs anger management or therapy or something. 1
flyingcement Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) I've been the recipient of an apology like this from someone in my family. An apology like this doesn't mean too much. Actions speak louder than words. An apology is a very small step toward addressing the problem. In many cases, the problem is too deep for true resolution and a permanent distancing is always an option. Real family is earned; it doesn't go strictly by blood. Edited April 7 by flyingcement 3

The_KC_Godfather Posted April 7 Posted April 7 (edited) Did I see correctly that the other team was Mocco? Wish Steve-O was in the opposite corner and encountered this. That “tough guy” dad wouldn’t be tough much longer… Edited April 7 by The_KC_Godfather

Dark Energy Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Guy can be recognized as a prick-to-the-core kind of guy by the first ridiculous act of avoiding the handshake with the opposing wrestler. Way to teach Coach!! And then what he did to his kid was way worse. Odds are the apology is to save some face. For his kid’s sake, I hope it is not as shallow as that. As folks are saying, the most important thing now is the actions he takes. Whatever club / team that allows him to coach in next 5 years should be shunned.
Nak21 Posted April 7 Posted April 7 Horrible all around. I agree on the apology is just words, future actions will speak louder as to whether he’s truly sorry and has reformed his ways. But I can’t get over that he’s not only his coach, but also his Dad. This is just the only incident we’ve seen, I’d imagine there have been others at home and in public that weren’t caught on video. Where’s Mom in all this? Guy needs some help, some counseling, maybe some time apart from his family to get his head straight. Feel bad for the kid, that’s the obvious victim here.
