You know, I've had a few kids like that lately and they kind of self-selected out. But I had a conversation with them. We sat down and looked, said, let's look at the end of your membership. I'm going to call your mom and let's talk about what are you going to do instead? I never mind if they leave, but I want them to do something physical where they have that social interaction.

And again, they're building resilience. The kids that quit younger, I find often have really low frustration tolerance and their parents are enabling that rather than pushing them through. So I would say at our gym anyway, it's much less likely that I have a parent that's pushing their kid really hard competitively. That's super rare, actually.

I have a couple kids that are blending wrestling seasons with jujitsu, but the kid's usually pretty into it at that point. Again, it's about teen years where they might get kind of burnt out. They're like, I just kind of don't want to do this every day anymore, which they've done. They put a lot of time and effort into it. So that's OK. And they may come back.

Uh, but the kids who, again, kind of quit before they get to really start before they even get to spar or before they get to really understand what jujitsu is, are the ones that they're getting mad in games. I didn't get picked as it today. You know, I had a conversation with a parent recently and. If he's been getting upset, he just leaves the mat.

I was like, you've got to give him a chance to work through that and at least sit on the side, even if we can't return to class. And he's very young, so lots of room for growth.

Does that mean by yourself? You jump by yourself?

So zero interest in that, like less than zero. If there was a number smaller than zero, like negative 100 interest in that. Why? I don't like the feeling of falling. The idea of it is terrifying. It doesn't feel like falling. I've heard that, well, the first few feet for sure.
