I just had a wreslter suprise me concerning this topic. At the seeding meeting I noticed that if one of my wrestler dropped one weight class ha would have it real easy to states. I left him where he was (having to place at sub and districk to make it) I was dreading telling him and His Mom. To my suprise the wrestler was glad and told me "He wanted to make it to states by wrestling his why there." This must have come from his preivious coaching and his Parent.
The practise of sutting weight will always be around just like drugs in Pro Sports. All we can do is educate our kids and hope they do the right thing. Some kids will some kids won't. Some Parents will push kids into it and others will keep kids from doing it. Lets just educate the kids so when they have to choose the have good information
