Are you talking about adults or kids? Kids do not have much of a choice unless they are 18 or declared an adult earlier by a court. Yes they can choose to work hard. Yes they can choose to be successful and many other choices. Unfortunately, most of them cannot choose their families. They can't just pick up and move because another place has richer resources. I am all for your aforementioned performance evaluations even if it would put me out of the sport I love because I am not worried about me. I fight for the kids whose parents have never attended one of their wrestling matches or demand that they miss practice because they have to babysit another sibling while the parents are out doing god knows what. I know you are just posting things to provoke thought and uplift our great sport and I appreciate it. I just have to get that counterpoint out.
I just edited my last post, I meant to say have and have nt is not the main factor of success.
I m talking in general. I know many have the deck of life stacked against them and I have heard many success stories of people over coming disavatages becaoming successes in life and history. Stuff like learning to read by candle light.
Keep talking Frank! Your posts and opinions keep the heat off of me. I am recovering from being offended earlier on another topic posting. I will come out of my safe zone soon and unleash 1,000 more posts. Until then, please keep the forum going.
