This winter, Hyrum wanted to try his skill at wrestling. His first wrestling practice was hilarious! He came in ready to take on the world. He started talking 'smack' with everyone around him (including the coach): "I can beat you!" "I can beat that kid!" "I can pin everyone!"
His coach took him aside and explained that everyone here is on the same team and we all work together to help each other get better.
Hyrum still thought he was tuff stuff and kept trying to pair up with kids twice his size.
Finally, after weeks of practicing he had his first meet. The kids were matched according to size. Hyrum's style was to make friends with the kid he was matched with and then....pow...pinned!
Hyrum won both matches.
The best thing he learned from this wrestling experience was how to be a good sport. Now, no matter what game/sport/activity he participates in, he always offers his hand, shakes, and says:
"Good Match!"

Could he possibly look meaner while he wrestles?
Whoo! Whoo!
