After summer weight training and being in a weight lifting class as a freshman, by the end of wrestling season my son tipped the scales at a whopping 87lbs. Giving up almost 20% of his body weight,I never once saw him back down from opponents that were most times a head taller. He kept a positive attitude and I encouraged him by telling him that his time will come. He will most likely stay at 103 for one or two more years.
His brother is a 75lb 7th grader who will likely be in the same boat as his brother. Both boys have wrestled from the age of 5 and are looking forward to some success in High School wrestling. This is the only sport that levels the playing field for the smaller athletes.
