A
When my son joined the high-school wrestling team last fall during COVID-19, my 83-year-old dad also asked me to ask if they needed an assistant coach. I wondered how the coach would feel about my son’s grandfather asking to help, given that it was over 60 years ago that he wrestled? “He wrestled in university,” I said.
A few days before the first practice, I e-mailed the coach to tell him that my son’s grandfather was 83. I was nervous. What if he wasn’t what they were looking for? In the e-mail, I assured the coach he was in good health. I pointed out that his hearing aids had sat unused for over five years. He just didn’t like wearing them.
As I dropped my dad and 16-year-old son off for their first wrestling practice, my dad turned to my son, “I am not going to embarrass you, am I?”
“Not too much,” my son replied.
At the first practice, Dad met the coach and told him he would do anything he needed. When he and my son returned, they were both overjoyed. Dad made the team, but “God, I wish I could hear the coach!” he said. One day, he realized he forgot his hearing aids as I dropped him off. We turned back. “I need these to hear what the coach is talking about,” he reminded me.
In his free time, Dad went to the library and he borrowed the book Wrestling for Dummies. He read up on different moves and the scoring system. “It is a lot different from my university days,” he told me.
The coach gave him a team sweatshirt with the logo of the school on the front and “Wrestling” on the back. He wears the sweatshirt to every practice.
COVID-19 has not allowed me to watch any of the practices or meets. I rely on my father to give me the play-by-play of what is happening in the wrestling room. He is energetic. I’m proud to be a wrestling daughter.
