Rford,
This is a great post. You bring out a lot of spot on points. Some kids just aren't meant to be the best at whatever sport they compete in. Some physically don't compete well, others mentally can't get the job done either. When the fun is lost, nothing will make either better. Sports will help youngsters get through life in their later years because of the lessons that they will learn along the way.
I have seen some young wrestlers that didn't have the talent, skills or the natural ability to succeed early on but go on to be very solid high school wrestlers. If we could tap into their mental psychy to find out what made them get to where they got, we could help a lot of more talented, skilled and naturally gifted young wrestlers find the top of the podium later in life (high school or beyond) where it counts the most.
