I agree Doug. Isn't it funny how we need to do something to improve Kansas wrestling, but the answer can't be to get involved with Freestyle and Greco. The answer must be...A Series. Why is the series the answer? Because there is no real sacrifice. The kid doesn't have to dedicate more time into the sport. They just need to go to different tournaments, tougher tournaments. Yes that will make them champions. Not wrestling in the summer that would cut into baseball and @#$%^!ball.
If you want to get better you have to Freestyle. This is Jake's first year and he loves it. He is playing baseball on a traveling team also. It can be done....it just depends on how badly you want to make it work.
Yes, I'm sure it can work also, but as Scott said, the kids need time to be kids as well. In the smaller communities, sometimes the baseball team has to have you on the team every practice and game because without you they don't have enough for a team. Same with all the other "team" sports. And the problem with "it just depends on how badly you want to make it work" is (not saying you) that in a lot of cases, the parent wants it a lot more "badly" that the kid. Again, Scott said it best, the kids need time to be kids."
