You know this line "Build it and they will come." Well, if they didn't build it right no one would have. It is a true free market situation. If a club is good enough wrestlers will come. If not they won't. I have heard HS coaches who have complained about a "town's wrestlers" going to another town to wrestle kids. A good coach would say "Awesome!" they are willing to go the extra mile to get better. You cannot improve wrestling the same partner every night especially if you are already better than them. Bottom line, create an environment that no one would want to miss out on and you won't have these issues. Have great practice partners for everyone or let your wrestlers who don't go where they need to go. I really don't understand these clubs who treat wrestlers as possessions...
