Well Richard I will have to dis-agree with you. Sometimes that bling is what motivates my kid. So I guess he won his state championship by bad coaching or what. I have the problem of my son is a good basketball player to and if its the bling that keeps attention to wrestling then so be it. Yes I understand the competition but not all 9 year olds do. guess maybe I am a bad coach and parent because my 5 and 9 year olds dont understand anything but the bling. You guys need to realize that times have changed since you wrestled so catch up fellas or maybe its you that will have that rude awakening when your kid gets bored with wrestling. Maybe the will maybe they wont but dont tell me im a bad coach because my philosophy for my son is different than yours.
