Well said!!! FUN is the name of the game. This is NOT the Olympics! KEEP IT FUN or you will kill them with burn out . . . I have seen many 14 year old STUDS . . . that don't even finish there senior year of HS wrestling. Why? Because it is just no fun any more. After years and years of being over-controlled by their parents, they simply (and understandably) hate the sport we all love.

Back off and let them have fun!!!
