Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle District 4

I wish more of the people from D4 would spend their time worrying about their own district instead of what goes on in other districts.

I find this a funny statement as district 4 gets discussed in this forum more than any other district. Now that some district 4 people call out others they are getting told to mind their own business. I honestly don't care what other districts do, as it is evident there is no consistency across the state. If wrestlers start jumping weights to trophy hunt or any other reasons it is only hurting the wrestlers in their future in the sport. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best at state. If you start running from the compitition it will eventually catch up to you.

Our job as kids coaches and parents are to prepare our wrestlers for the next level. I am guessing that college coach out there doesn't care if you won 10U 85 bracket at districts or state, but they will see that this kid had success when he was younger, but now is average in HS.

Each district is unique in one or more ways and thus need to have some flexibility in the way they do things. Again, as long as the way they do things doesn't provide them or others an advantage there is no reason for conformity across the board. There is no evidence that anyone is jumping competition and even if they do, shouldn't we be more concerned about the kids running? Aren't they the ones who's wrestling will suffer in the long term? The kids who's brackets they run to will possibly be the beneficiary of better competition. Regardless, I don't concern myself with those who would do such a thing.
