Same here. It's like everyone is racing to the next level without stopping to think first. Staying in a lower level is very good for developing your skills first. I hope many of these kids know this before declaring their moving up and really haven't done well in the level their in.
So true, and the coaches should be all over this simple logic, which makes me think who is truly at fault. It is all broken down to who can do all of the known elements the best and most consistently. Why the rush, after all, IMO, the only level that matters is the senior level - getting your name on the 100+ year old Trophy. Kind of like the '72 Dolphins and the '07 Patriots, winning all regular season games is nice but winning all of those games PLUS the Super Bowl is remarkable, memorable and historical.
