Technique or luck

I get asked this question a lot when it comes to Brandon and his wrestling.
People are always wondering at his age how much of what he knows is actually technique...
Well, the answer is...all of it. Brandon wrestles kids his size every week, sometimes they even weigh more than he does. At the risk of sounding cocky Brandon has just taken to wrestling like a fish takes to water. To him, it comes naturally. Of course it helps that he has fantastic coaches (Jeff included) who devote so much time and effort into making Team GV what it is. Do we lose, sure, I tell Brandon that every great champion looses. It's not that you lose it's how you do it.
I have to laugh when Brandon describes to me his victories...hearing the technical terms coming from him is so cute.
Oh...and that being said...he took 1st place at last weekend’s tournament.

Looking to his coaches for direction...
