" At the end of the day NO ONE cares if you won state when you were six years old."

"Honestly, being a 6U State Champ is really just a joke. More for the dads and moms not for the kids. Heck many of them will not even remember wrestling before they were 8 years old."

"The joke is this. Someday your son is in college and talk turns to wrestling. "Yeah, I wrestled." "How did you do?" "Well I won state whe I was six!" Resounding laughter. "

"I don't believe I have called anyone's son a joke. I am saying that 6U wrestling needing all of this focus is a joke."

Mr. Cokely

I'm curious why you have such harsh words for 6u state champions?
