You know most of the kids wrestling today will not wrestle in college and very few will make a living from it. I have found the best thing my kid has gotten out of wrestling is the friends he has made. Most of those friends are past and current practice partners from open rooms/clubs. Now on facebook, my son has friends from all over the state thru wrestling. He is willing to ride 30 minutes to Bonner for open gym just to see Coach Seaton and I do not think Jerry even has an ego and I know he does not read this forum. At least I know he does not care what any of us think, he just loves wrestling. As our kids get older we see the team concept actually goes above high school and to Team Kansas. Wrestling on the Kansas teams Cokely has put together for the Park Hill and Middle School duals and later the School Boy duals have been some of my kids greatest joys. He is with his friends.
