Coach 30-Second Mat-Side Script
"Head high. You wrestled hard until the final whistle. Handshake firm, ankle band neatly handed to the table, and let's review the tape calmly."
Parent Car-Ride Dialogue"I loved watching you compete today. It hurts right now, but I am proud of how you handled yourself on the mat after time expired."
🛡️ Anti-Shaming Ground Rules
- No Public Ridicule: Never broadcast or mock a child's emotional lapse on social media.
- Separate Identity from Outcome: Praise effort, preparation, and dignity over medal color.
- Immediate De-escalation: Mandatory physical cool-down before any tactical critique.
