Emotion



So Holden is our child that rarely shows emotion. He could make the winning touchdown of a football game or sack a quarterback five times in a game and all he will be able to think about at the end of the day is how he could have done better and what he will do better for the next game. In wrestling win or lose you won't see Holden show much emotion. If he wins he will graciously shake his opponent's hand. If he loses, he will still shake his opponent's hand and then find a corner somewhere to sit and think about what went wrong. So when his team won their first playoff game against a first place team, I saw Holden show EMOTION!!!!! He ran off the field into his coach's arms. It actually brought tears to my eyes. This kid is too hard on himself. He expects to be perfect in everything that he does. It's on ongoing process to try and help this kid just be happy in doing his best.
