i can see the team unity aspect, we have a few that go to purler on mondays, and visit columbus, parsons, chanute, seneca mo., others on wednesdays. they are at our practices on tuesdays and thursdays. when wrestlers from these other clubs come to our practices they are always grateful, and we are too. they are trying to get better, and are helping us do the same. when you have great competition in the room, you are going to become better. i know they get sick of hearing it, but i tell the kids "wouldn't it be nice if your toughest matches are on tuesdays and thursdays". that is something i learned from a great high school football coach and i believe in it 100%. i agree that kids should be proud of where they are from, but i think a t-shirt, or a warm-up is sufficient. i would ask for team singlets, but its too cool to have one from russia, or hawaii, or texas!!
