Hand picking the team is straight up anti-American/anti-meritocratic bullshit. embarrassing. and a slippery slope.

Let’s continue to do the ‘right thing’ in regards to making USA World and Olympic Teams! That’s what separates us from the rest of the World! Earn it! Hoping the USA Wrestling Sports committee continues to believe in the principles and values that has made us what we are today!

There’s no single path in wrestling. Some kids need to be pushed early. They’re winning everything, dominating locally, and if you don’t get them into better rooms and tougher tournaments they get comfortable. They start thinking they’re better than they actually are. Those kids need to get tested early so they stay hungry and stay humble. But on the flip side, some kids are already getting tested every day. They’re losing in the room, losing at tournaments, struggling to place. And that’s where parents panic. They think something’s wrong so they try to add more—more training, bigger events, tougher competition. That’s where it gets messed up. If your kid is already getting beat, already dealing with adversity, already having to figure things out… they’re on the right path. That’s how you build resilience. Not from winning. From losing, adjusting, and showing back up anyway. Throwing them into something even harder doesn’t speed it up. Most of the time it just buries them. Harder isn’t better. Better is what they actually need. The biggest problem is comparison. Parents see another kid dominating at the same age and think their kid is behind. So now it becomes blaming coaches, blaming the room, blaming everything instead of just understanding they’re on a different timeline. You’re watching a snapshot and acting like it’s the whole story. Some of those early studs never learn how to lose. Then they hit college, get beat every day, and they don’t know how to respond. No resilience. No identity. They fade out. Meanwhile the kid who couldn’t win a bracket at 10 learned how to handle losing, learned how to adjust, learned how to keep showing up when it sucked. That kid becomes dangerous later. And then people get burnout completely wrong. Burnout almost never comes from training too much. It comes from pressure. It comes from a kid feeling like every match defines them, like they’re letting people down, like they’re never doing enough. That’s what drains them. You rarely see a kid who truly loves it and owns it burn out from mat time. What you do see is kids start to check out. They stop focusing in practice, go through the motions, avoid hard situations, and become inconsistent. Then people say they’re burned out. No—they’re detached. Wrestling stopped being something they enjoy and became something they feel judged on. And a lot of the time those kids were never fully bought in, they were just carrying expectations. That ties right back into the path. When you force a kid into a path that isn’t theirs—chasing rankings, chasing other kids, chasing results—you don’t build confidence, you build anxiety. So when things get hard they don’t lean in, they pull away. The kids who last are the ones who were allowed to develop. Win, lose, struggle, figure it out. Because it’s theirs, not yours. If your kid is winning, good—challenge them. If your kid is losing, good—let them grow. Either way stop panicking. Most kids don’t fail because they were on the wrong path. They fail because someone rushed it or made it about themselves, and eventually the kid walks away.

I don’t like AJ Ferrari because he tried stealing a shirt from a camp that my foundation funded so at risk kids could attend for free. We did this through many different avenues including shirt sales. He tried stealing one and when he got caught he called the woman a Jew 😭.

Overtime ride outs is no different than criteria in freestyle. The match ends tied. Fuck ride outs. Unlimited neutral who scores first. Stallings reset in OT.
