Good post, Travius.
Will,
I think our coaches are very dedicated and work hard for low compensation to coach our kids. They all are making positive contributions to wrestling in Kansas. I appreciate their efforts.
I do agree with you though with many of the changes that you call for. One of them that I agree with that you mentioned above is that coaches should be allowed to coach outside of the season. I definitely agree with that. I see no reason that their ability to coach kids outside of the season should be limited. I also think coaches should be allowed to work with and even organize Kids clubs and feeder middle schools to their programs if they want to. No coach should be required to do any of that but if there are coaches that want to be involved extra beyond the high school season, our system should not prohibit them from doing so.
