I agree with Randy.......coaches need to do their part. There are many kids out there that don't have a clue when or where they can practice these styles. The opportunities are available.

Does summer wrestling get expensive? Yes, but where there's a will, there's a way. Many of the parents of the athletes I coach started planning for Fargo months in advance. They held multiple fundraisers. The kids went out and found sponsors. It costs $500 to make the trip to Fargo, which may be the cheapest rate in the US. North Dakota charges close to $800 and the tournament is held in their own state!!

There's only one way to improve our results on the national level........train hard and wrestle often. Other states are getting it done, so can we.
