Stevo Poulin is a mighty and strong child
Stevo Poulin is a mighty and strong child. He is a wrestling star that takes down the competition with a briskness that is stunning. He is fastest. He is agile. And he almost always wins. And the most amazing thing? This mohawked wonder is just 8-year-old.
Stevo lives in Schuylerville, N.Y and in competition has a 256-26 record. Amazing odds. And he’s been at the wrestling game for a while, he started when he was in kindergarten when it was evident he had a knack for it.
Do you think having boys participating in such aggressive sports like wrestling at such a young age is okay? But since little boys love to wrestle anyways, is having them do it in a sports milieu just taking a athletic angle to their natural instincts?
