It's good that children have brave spiritual support along with sports. Hand-to-hand combat requires restraint and respect for the opponent, so the father's prayer is not superfluous here.

It is good that the priest blessed the children before the game. Hand-to-hand combat requires discipline and respect for the opponent, so prayer makes sense here. Here in Tetovo, we also often take the boys to church before training.

Yes, Alexander, restraint is the most important thing in hand-to-hand combat. My son also plays judo at school, and I often tell him that respecting the opponent is more important than winning. It's good that dad talked about it.

Well said, Alexander. My son has also been practicing judo for two years, and I often see how the child changes when the coach emphasizes restraint. Father's prayer is really an additional strength in such competitions.

სალომე მამულაშვილი

Well said, Alexander. My temporary boy was in hand-to-hand combat, but what I remember most is how the coach said that prayer allows you not to get upset when you lose. The father's word is really on point here.

Good point, Salome. My son has also been in hand-to-hand combat a few times and the coach always said that prayer helps us not get angry when we lose. Father should also talk about this.

You say it well, Natya. My son has been to such competitions twice in Telavi, and the coach once directly said that prayer helps us not to lose ourselves. This is exactly what the father should talk about with his children so that they accept failure with dignity.
