Okay, I'm New to this and after reading these posts I'm unsure that I want to enroll my young son in this sport b/c I'm not the kind of parent that will allow my child or ANY other child to be be-littled in public OR private. Yes, it is your child and your choice BUT I WILL take you aside and ask you if that was necessary. So perhaps I need to re-think my decision to enroll my child -- Just a thought --
Mom, don't know what posts you have seen lately. I will give you my thoughts in brief. I have been involved in sport now for over 30 years as a participant and coach. In all of those years, over many states, I have never felt more positively about the benefits of a sport more than wrestling. In general, while there are exceptions. I have found this sport produces family. I am not native to Kansas, in fact not native to the Mid West or Plains states, that being said, the people I am closest to in my life are all involved in wrestling. There are all kinds of reasons for that, which I won't elaborate on. I will say, like any other sport, you will get out of this sport what you put into it. I know that what I have gotten out of it has been more than I ever dreamed.
Thoughts to ponder and blessings in your decisions.
Randy, see you Sunday, we are likely driving up Saturday night.
