I think you hear about kids dropping 10, 15, 20, or even 25 pounds over a season. Some people really freak out about those kinds of numbers. I think it really depends on the builds of the kid.
Some kids have that kind of weight to give!!!
I know of a kid that was hurt this summer and really put on some pounds. He's better and he is back in the wrestling room and the pounds are just melting off! He will probably lose 25 pounds (if not more) this season. See, it really all depends on the person and the situation. I do think there are kids that have NO MORE TO GIVE. But, every situation should be looked at individually!
But, I think it is the coaches responsibility to keep their kids safe and know when to MAKE THEM STOP.
JMO!!
