Good post, its no fun getting pushed around & beat at a wrestling tourny. I believe you have to out practice your opponent. There is quite a few clubs that practice 4 days a week, If you have to wrestle one of these kids you better be prepared or you will lose. My boys have been working hard this year & are getting burnt out. I let them miss practice last night they said they did not want to go. This was the second one they missed all year (they were sick the first one). I think your right the solution is more & better quality practice equals success & successful wrestlers stay in the sport.
