successful. I watched high school wrestling for years as my son did it for all four years of high school. His problem, while not bad, was he got a late start by never wrestled until his freshman year. I saw other kids that started at very young age and they were all very successful. Most of the really good high school coaches have a very successful high school/college record. In NOVA area, where there are only a few great HS programs, all those coaches won at state level and were many times NCAA ranked.
