But my question to sportsfan02 on this post is why would as a State should Kansas be so content with 3 out of 80 All Americans and only 1 out of the top 50 that Kansas would stop looking for ways to improve Kansas wrestling by comparing its methods to other successful States?
My guess is, if you compared our results per capita to any other state we most likely are THE most successful state. So I would make the suggestion that other states should be looking at what we do.
I am not saying that is a bad performance but I do not think this means that Kansas can be complacent either.
I don't believe we should become complacent either, but I do not see it at as a problem.
Kansas would be remiss not to study and possibly adopt certain things from other successful wrestling States.
Again, I think if we break the numbers down, Kansas would be one of if not THE successful wrestling state. We are never going to compete with the likes of the larger populace states because of numbers, so that shouldn't be the goal.
Why would anyone consider Kansas wrestling community leaders like Sean McCarthy and Klint Deere as whining when they suggest that we adopt certain things that are done in other States? Are they whining?
Whining was probably a poor choice of words on my part but I do get tired of the 'things are better over there' crowd. I don't know what those two individuals have said but most of the people who I see complaining about Kansas wrestling are interested in traveling with their own child first, and finding funding for that traveling second.
