Ditto on that I would rather see my kids playing football going to practices everyday in a serious setting rather than the lax approach that comes with off season wrestling and open mats and i push kids to play as well .I agree the football take on wrestling is idiotic at best ,but in knowing how most football coaches feel about wrestling then that should be an even bigger reason for a wrestling coach to look out for the needs of th wrestlers playing football , but it's been my observation that people are afraid to tick off a football coach because they get all the hype , odd at CC though they are a ky powerhouse in wrestling with many wrestlers on the team .
I also find it odd you say you don't care about the kids playing football ,didn't you coach some of them ?
Seems to be an issue about multiple sports . Oddly enough in other states it's always brought up but really I noticed football coaches taking pride in having wrestlers on their teams and wrestling coaches taking pride in having football players they all considered themselves as good coaches helping out in different way and while there might be a few problems it was usually just something to gossip about not anything that really mattered like a coach benching a kid for missing a practice for doing a tournament or a wrestling coach doing the same to a kibwho played football and went to playoffs and showed up late in the season .
I guess the football teams can brag about having wrestlers when it sheds goo light on them then take it out on the wrestlers because they actually wrestle and get noticed ,
I was just thinking your school CC has three AAs on the football team and a few more starters, I care More about them because I know they are doing more same goes for the rest of the multi sport kids , they deserve better from both sports not less it's bs that they actually get grief for attempting more and I know for a fact many would show up . But I understand i guess it's a perk people like to think they get or give for being one sport athletes .
