our oldest son decided last year that he didn't want to wrestle. I was pretty shocked, since he was in his last year of 10 and under and had been wrestling since he was 4. We went along with it and let him make his own choice. He didn't decide to wrestle his season until one week before signup. He has been more determined this season, and has never complained about going to practice yet, since he has decided to do this. He realizes now that he is only doing this sport for himself, and not for us. I did tell him, though, that once he signs up for a sport, and he has to see it through to the end. I think that taking a year off really helped him in what he really wanted, and made him miss it even more. He was a little rusty at first, but now he is doing fine. It's fun for him, now.
