All good points. Don't forget excessive or constant weight cutting and a parent(s) who is (are) over the edge when it comes to driving a kid into the ground. There is a fine line between having a sincere desire for your wrestler having success and demanding that they have success. Once you cross over to demanding, you may just lose.
