I would like to add that although I do seem to hear vulgar language at every tournament, the majority of parents are great fans and show support for all of the wrestlers. There are countless times parents from other teams have come up to tell me good things about our team and our wrestlers. Just this weekend end at Hays, I had several parents tell me how they were impressed that our wrestlers never give up and wrestle hard to the end, even in defeat. I always make sure to pass these compliments on to our fine young men. They need to know that hard work is noticed and appreciated regardless of the results.
To all of the wrestlers in Kansas, hold your head high and keep pushing forward and aiming for daily improvement. Ignore the negative fans and remember you are part of a sport with the world's best fans. Don't let a few bad apples ruin our wrestling family.
