Some background:
My son is 12 years old and weighs 180lbs, he is in phenomenal shape and is around 15% BF right now at 180 - 5'7 1/2". He wrestles for his school and for Sunkist Kids Wrestling Academy so right now he does school practice from 3:30 until 5:00 and then 6:30 until 8:30 M-Th with Fridays off then Saturday tournaments. Sunday he lifts weights - bench/squat/bent over rows and pullups.

He has competed for the last 4 years and does quite well usually, we compete from November until February in Folkstyle then take a month off and switch over to freestyle/greco season from March until July if he qualifies for nationals again this year.

These are his three filmed matches of the year and he was already 4-0 up until this tourney. He still gets psyched out by seeing the bigger 14 year olds at times and has some mental blocks occassionally until he decides to win as with a couple of these matches. The last match in part 2 of these videos he ends up pinning the kid but I ran out of memory.
Excuse the quality of these 1st two videos as I had to use an old crappy camera as I couldn't find my camcorder battery charger.

Yes I am the screaming parent...
