no one threw sportsfan under a bus. your quote just solidifies everyones point, there is nothing wrong with practice, scouting, video taping, what ever. that is preperation, i someone were preparing the "path", they should even sign up for the salina tournament, trust me it won't be easy. the point about burning kids out is a good one, but that doesn't have any more to do with wrestling than the man in the moon. kids get burned out on EVERYTHING. how many kids get A'S AND B's in jr high then D'S and F's in high school, i doubt that has anything to do with extra preparation. sportsfan used some pretty discouraging words in his post. perhaps a better quote for all to think about is this "if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem" GET INVOLVED. the parents who complain most, are usually the ones who do the least to benefit the club, the sport, or anyone other than themselves. i've seen this for too many years, it's not just IMO, its the truth. you don't have to be in the practice room to get involved, raise money, organize movie nights for the team, have a swim party, but do not sit back and critisize those who are involved.
