Sorry, Bryan, don't agree, I understand Beeson's post, he is a pessimist, but you make it sound like the changes will allow someone to win a 6U state title by wrestling only 2 matches. These weight change brackets will still have 30 to 40 kids in them, still an great accomplishment and very difficult.
If this has anything to do with keeping their interest in wrestling, then it is misplaced.
Nearly every kid hits a wall at older ages, has nothing to do with 6U wrestling.
I think I am more of a REALIST. I had no problem with the 6U weights as they were, and thought it was working great. Too many of you have your heads in the sand. You can tell me all you want how people are not pulling weight at this age. I know what is really going on, and they are pulling weight, plain and simple. This makes it easier to pull weight and more of it.
Yes, walls are hit by wrestlers at every age. The difference is the ones who have had it easy find it easier to quit. Those who have been taught to earn things and work hard will push through. Too many parents, coaches, and even administrators want it to be made easy.
