There are wrestlers who do compete nationally very well and obviously very well in the state or Kansas. But in order for the majority of the state to become more advanced and compete at the same level, you can't wrestle 3 months out of the year. But you also must grow with the sport. The states who consistently compete well nationally have D1 programs and have experienced coaches in the high school rooms passing their knowledge on. They aren't showing the five dollars moves that lead to bad habits. The are showing the basics that are going to work and then building from there. Tulsa Union is very well coached, but also very committed several of their kids compete in the summer and are doing extra. It doesn't help Kansas wrestling when coaches can't work with their kids out of the season.
