There you go again, trying to save some kid from an overzealous parent. Until you live in their house, don't judge those parents. I would much rather have an overzealous parent, than a parent that allows their kids to sit around doing nothing, which leads to boredom, which leads to getting in trouble, which leads to dope smoking, drinking, etc........

I agree that kids should have a say in activities, but as parents, we all have to "help" them make decisions. Most wrestlers, after the first few a$$ whippings, if given the choice, would QUIT. That is the easy way out. Go play basketball so you can blame the other 4 guys when you lose.

This is wrestling, and we should hold our tougher athletes with balls enough to try this sport, to a higher standard, and instill that sort of mental and physical toughness in our kids. Not the "ok honey, you don't have to do it, I'll see if I can get someone to outlaw that other kid from being able to work out in his bsmt so they quit making the gap bigger between your spoiled butt, and his hardworking butt"
