As we all know, wrestling is a very physical and mentally demanding sport. Discipline is the key. Ask most any ten year old kid if they think that wrestling is fun. If they answer "yes", I'll bet that they have won several matches and have had some success. Kids will not stay in this sport if they don't have some successes on Saturday's. We as parents and coaches need to fully understand the capabilities of our kids and put them in a position to best give them the opportunity to succeed. I'm not talking about under rating our kids to get them into the novice division or trophy hunting. However, when you have the chance to take a child(who's had little success) to a smaller tournament without all of the usual studs, then do it.This sport is certainly not meant for every child but we as parents and coaches need to figure out what success is for each kid and find a way to make it happen. This is how you will keep more children involved in this sport.
