I do not think that would help my argument.

I think wrestlers who were pretty tough tend to hang out with other wrestlers who are pretty tough, so when they think back on their youth, they have memories mainly of wrestlers who were pretty tough. They prune the memories of un-tough people through the years. 
 
The people who weren't pretty tough in wrestling probably aren't posting and reading this board, so they don't come up with a counter argument through personal experience, so the only side our observations is the tough side, while we are cognizant of both tough and untough people around us today because we don't have to have very good memories for that. 
 
Kids in my day were a mixture of tough and un-tough. Some of my teammates worked extremely hard to improve themselves. I had a few teammates who worked extremely hard when I wrestled them which helped me a lot. I'm eternally grateful for these teammates and developing that type of character is the focus of my coaching career. I also had teammates that weren't tough, and I wouldn't spend much time thinking about them if I didn't coach where I encounter their contemporary archetypical counterparts allowing me to remember hundreds of wrestlers from all my years all at once.
 
The best part of coaching is encountering a kid that reminds you of an untough kid in the past, but helping them develop into a kid who reminds you of a badass tough wrestlers you remember from the past. 
 
I vent to my dad every single season about something that annoys me currently with kids, but he always has a story to top me. His 35 years of coaching just have better highs and better lows than my 16 when it comes to positive and negative examples of toughness, work ethic, dedication to overcoming adversity. 
 
I think of a wrestler from the 90s who lost his mother and didn't ever have his dad around on a weekly basis because it opened my eyes to the most important struggles some kids go through, and my dad was an amazing father who allowed me to learn about what it meant to succeed as a person through wrestling. He always gave me opportunities to analyze the actions of the wrestlers on his team from the time I was old enough to analyze until the I graduated and he retired. 
 
I also think of the kids who quit the morning of sectionals a few years after that last kid graduated who I think had very strong homes, and I've been trying to figure out why kids like that don't want to put it on the line.

One of my favorite quotes when I hear the ole "kids these days" complaint:
 
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.” - Socrates around 400 B.C.
 
Kids will always be kids. Coach Mayaab at clinic said a few years ago that we have to build relationships and "milk" these kids. Going from playing Fortnite every day to being screamed at in a hot, sweaty, smelly wrestling practice is not enticing to any 14-15 year old kid. Not to mention, we expect them to show up, work hard, and then tell a kid with 10% body fat that he has to lose weight? Those can be difficult conversations if there is not a strong relationship between that coach and wrestler. 
 
Rules without relationships = rebellion. Gone are the days of demanding respect to gain respect from a kid, because they will just find something else to do. But if you show respect to the kid, I feel they will always gravitate towards the thing that gives them attention and love.

Today the Munster wrestling schedule brought me to Valparaiso High School where I sampled their supply of hotdogs. The hot dogs were $3 and were taste tested plain. The Valparaiso concession stand is in the middle of the hallway, and reminded me of that McDonald's that sat in the middle of the Chicago Skyway.  The dogs were cooked using those rollers you find in any quality 7 Eleven.  The result of using these rollers was that there was a small char on the hot dogs that I appreciate.  The hot dogs didn't have a premium taste, but they weren't cheap.  The buns were fresh.  These dogs were a bit smaller than last week's and not as juicy.  My final score for these dogs is 5.75 slices of pizza out of 8.  As a side note, I brought my 14 year old nephew with me today.  He gave the hot dogs 6.5 slices of pizza out of 8.  The next stop on the tour is December 6 at Munster high school for senior night.  Thank you for reading. Side note, I couldn't add a picture of the hot dog for some reason.  If I figure it out, I will post it.

Tough crowd, tough crowd.
 
I’ve done Region Sports Gymnastics commentary and haven’t caught any flak, but I haven’t jumped on the gymnastics boards since. 
 
I think it’d be fun to have current coaches on, but it’d be hard to find the time.

Talks to much 😂

First round of wrestle offs before the first meet.
 
Second round as winter break starts.
 
If a kid is 2-0 against someone, it's over and the starter is picked.
If a new person wins, they start until the third wrestle off before conference. 
 
 

2 ready to go for Highland's tournament next weekend for Wheeler Women's Wrestling
2 more will be ready after fall activities are over. 

Hobart's schedule is ideal for this type of decision, as they are in the Lake County individual tournament where the tournament can go on with or without them without much difference. 
 
I'm not sure if there are other tournaments like this, but I'm hoping Wheeler, which is Lake County adjacent, can use the tournament for the same reason sometime if we get a bid.

This is a ton of matches for people to not win a world championship. 
 
Right now, our sport rewards people winning world titles or having the ability to win a world title. Winning matches that don't take you to that goal are extraneous. Until the money of a league becomes bigger than the money of a world title, leagues won't work.
