My son got bored of wrestling because he was not challenged by the other kids at his wrestling school.
He learned extremely fast his first season and outpaced all of them. He even won state. He is now the best in the class. Instead of the other kids wanting to get better and get to his level, they write him off as trying too hard, and hate wrestling with him.
He started getting bored of the sport, so we figured we would cross train him at another gym. He quickly fell back in love with wrestling after this due to the new challenge. The new gym has nationally ranked wrestlers. The culture sadly sucks there... My son was doing privates with his old coach, but the owner of the gym caught on to my son potentially moving to another gym. So in response, he took down all of my sons awards, photos, trophies, and sent me a picture saying I can collect them at any time. He also told me he does not want his coaches giving my son privates because he's wrestling for another team now.
When I told him my son isn't being challenged, he told me eventually a good kid like my son will come along and then the program will snowball. He also said, "which lesson is better, betraying your coaches and team, or being a leader?"
His response seems pretty unethical, and there doesn't seem to be any accountability around the quality of his program, which is why we left. We are also very close with his coaches, and so is my son, so this all just feels wrong and inappropriate. were new to wrestling and wrestling culture, so I'm open to some outside prospectives here. I'm also autistic, so some of these social dynamics are difficult for me to navigate. I don't typically feel loyal to anyone, I operate based off results and logic.
