I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts on this topic. Everyone is showing a concern for their children and for what they feel would be right for them and our Kansas Kids Wrestling. I especially liked the last four posts by mat rat #1, Van Fam 7, jaxx, and wrestlingmom. They were all slightly different but what is best for the kids is what I saw to be the common theme of each.

I know wrestlingmom's family. There is no doubt in my mind that the young man and the family were ready for him to participate in the State tournament this year. Their family is actually the primary one I had in mind when I stated in one of my posts that some families and wrestlers are ready for the tournament. I really thought he might have been ready last year for the tournament. This young man not only won the 8 & under Subs and District but he also won the 6 & Under Park City/Wichita Classic. To me those accomplishments definitely make him qualified as a wrestler to make a run at placing at State. This family is not an example of a pushy sports family. It is a very supportive sports family and their boys are all good multi-sport athletes.

I think this is a worthwhile topic that we can all learn from. I know I'm enjoying it and learning from it.
