I started wrestling when I could in federation and up to my 7th grade year. Then my dad took a job in a 1A town and I had to try and play that other winter sport (ugly sight). My senior year I had a choice to stay and finish with my class or go to Colby (and wrestle). NEVER have regretted the choice to go and wrestle one year in HS and all that came with it.

WHAT'S MY POINT??

Those that WANT to - WILL, those that DON'T - WON'T.

Kids now don't realize how much they're losing when they start working and forgo athletics and the real "memory makers" or experiences of school. (Course maybe I was just TRUELY blessed at having two parents that loved, supported and provided me with what I needed so I could enjoy athletics and not needed a job, I mean an excuse...)
