You might be a wrestler if ...

While watching the first game of the NFL season out of the corner of your eye, you are glued to your PC discussing the upcoming wrestling season which is 3 months away.

 

 

You're already thinking about all the great things at Thanksgiving that you'll have to pass on just to make weight for the next match.

Should coaches be trying to get kids to loose weight? Does the TSSAA and National Federation not discourage this?

cbg, Get a life dude. Coach Gonyea was not encouraging anyone to lose weight. If you are a conscientious wrestler you will cut back around Thanksgiving. There is enough negativity about weight loss in our sport without someone like you making these stupid statements. He was just stating fact. Get a life!

puppydog,

 

I was just making a joke!!! I probably cut at least 25lb each year (which was pretty dumb) from high school through college. What I should have done was get in the weight room and bulked up and wrestled at close to a natural weight. We do get a little smarter with age so there is hope for you.
