So if your son is a state placer, or state champion, his freshman year, after wrestling kids from FRosh to Senior all thru the HS season, you will still put him in 14u, because he is young for his class? So it is ok to wrestle the upperclassmen from November to the end of Feb, but in March, he can't handle it anymore?

I'll put the bad birthday excuse right up there with the ref screwed me excuse............QUIT giving our kids excuses, and start giving them the tools........

You have to look at matches against older, better kids as opportunities, not as a negative thing........

Every time a tough problem comes up at work, do we want our kids trained to demote themselves to a lower level so they don't have to deal with that problem?

Customer: "you better have those parts to me by Monday or I am moving my account somewhere else!!"

Manager that was tought to dodge problems, instead of face them all his life: "sorry, but I am going back to work in the mailroom, or possibly the janitorial staff, until Tuesday"
