Wrestling is great for Javon!!!

"I love you Couch!" is what Javon wrote on his card that he gave his wrestling couch during Teacher Appreciation Week. It was really cute. He really does love going now. At first it was tough and he wasn't sure about the whole thing, but now he is doing great. 

Here's some things that Javon says he's learned in wrestling:
1-How to "push-throw"
2-How to "knock someone down"
3-How to "run around"
4-How to "stand on my hands"
5-How to be "tough"

From my point of view he has learned:
1-Focus
2-Patience
3-Better listening skills
4-How to work with others in a team environment
5-That you can't give up even when it gets tough
6-Respect for his couch

There are other things as well, but those are some of the things that wrestling has helped him with this past 8 months.
