There was one dark spot to the meet I did Saturday – I watched a young man bomb-out on the squat and deadlift. Truth is I don’t think I’ve ever been to a meet where someone didn’t bomb out but what made this specific one so tragic was not the fact that he bombed but how his family reacted.
First off, his was lifting geared and I am generally against kid lifting geared (I’m going to guess he was about 12) they are not strong enough or skilled enough for it. But beyond that, what really set me off was the family berated this poor young man to the point he was crying. No one offered this young man the least little bit of comfort or consoling not a single hug. I just don’t get some parents.
