There are some wrestlers that will never make it out of the novice ranks. It is not as black and white as it would seem. GA has actually done a tremendous amount of work trying to define and regulate this area. The abusers are those who value the W over the experience and character building. While I agree that confidence is a delicate part of the formula, the coach and parents have the fiduciary responsibility to educate and nurture their young athlete in a constructive way.
