Here is a little bit of a twist with a different question. Let's say that your school can send your more experienced Varsity wrestlers to a tough tournament, and they have the opportunity to send their less experienced wrestlers to a JV or Varsity tournament that does not have the caliber of teams that the Varsity is going to. What, as a coach, do you do?
I now understand the importance of a less experienced wrestler getting three periods against an opponent that is far superior. They get to learn how to defend themselves against moves that they couldn't defend before the match started. It is all about mat time. My question is, do you as the coach send them to the tougher tournament where they will get two, maybe three matches, or to the other tournament where they might get five in a day?
