"The season is only as long as you want it to be and those truly committed to the great sport really tough it out."

There is a difference between loving your kid and loving the sport. It's easy to attend events because your kid is involved. What about taking your kids to high school or college matches so they can have someting to aim for. Give them a love of the sport, a history, hero's to look up to and try to emmulate. Football players want to be like Favre, Montana, and Elway. Basketball player want to play like Jordan, James, and Kidd. Who do our wrestlers want to wrestle like? Do they even know some of the top names in the sport? How many know who Cael Sanderson, Kenny Monday, or Dan Gable are? How many could point out Eric Aiken at the State Tournament? Most of us don't know wrestling, most of us know 8u 67, 10u 95, 12u 110, and so on.
