we lose kids cause wrestling is not for everyone. we are a select few. anyone can play basketball but not every can wrestle. its hard. lots of kids try it but its too tough for alot of those kids. parents baby their kids way too much these days. they let them sit around play the computer and gameboys all day. then when they are 30 they are still living at home and wonder why. thats why we are losing kids. no burn out junk. maybe a few but thats not the main reason kids stop wrestling.
