I would have to disagree with weight cutting. I know that it is part of the sport, but for only some people. And is not all that necessary in highschool. There is huge difference in cutting weight and being lean. Out of all of my years of wrestling I have had to lose weight. One year when I was a sophomore, I (CUT) close to 20 some pounds. I was good that year. Started off being 20 and before my first loss. As the season went on I got weaker and weaker. I would sleap through classes, and became uncontrollably cranky. Then came practice, I only went to keep my weight down. The reason I cut so much weight was because I did not think I could qualify at the next weight class. The point I am making is that kids are way to concerned about running from competition to be better. When really all the need to is quit being lazy and start runing, and lifting. Lifting is the most important factor. Instead of getting weaker and burned out through the season, why not get stronger by growing into a weight class. Not always an option though, just a thought.
