We have seven team members on a good day.  Cutting weight is not a big issue at this point as most of the weight classes are up for grabs! Besides, the body mass/pinch test  determines how low you can go. As stated by others, wrestling isn't as easy as one might think as well as it's just you on the mat... 

I think a lot of the problem in these situations goes both ways.   Wrestling coaches often times blame the football coaches, but we do nothing to change their view of wrestling.

Football coaches seem to have two main concerns about wrestling-

1. Cutting weight

2. The weight lifting that wrestlers do, endurance as opposed to mass building

If we as coaches want to get more football players out for our team wouldn?t it be more advantageous to not make to football guys cut weight (at least not as much weight) and have a weight program that is in line with the football program?

 

For me it is a no brainer, the football team has the strongest, best athletes in most schools, so I would rather change things that I see as negotiable, like the way we lift, and how much weight I would like to see the kids cut, in order to get kids out for our team.

 

I think that wrestling coaches also need to take time to get kids into the weight room.  We just go an extra half hour three times a week.  We give the kids three options, weights class lifts -what the upperclassmen lift, power lifting-for the kids in weights class already who want lift heavy, and wrestling lifts- for our more wrestling specific guys.  We give them the choice between the three, and as long as they are working in the weight room I see it as them getting better.  I think we lose too many kids by being stubborn on what lifts are being done.

In the end if you adopt and work with the football coaches weight program, and don?t get on kids about cutting weight, I?d bet your team would see more football guys come out.

 

At Rockville, our boys have been "strongly encouraged" to be in weight training for football, and to not wrestle.  I have been told by those boys, (and their parents),who chose to wrestle anyway,  that there  may not be a"spot" for them on next year's starting roster.

We have seven boys on the team.  Three are football players.  There are at least a half dozen boys in the weight room who wrestled in middle school and high school.  We have less than 500 kids in our high school.  This mentality is killing us.  We need to work together as was stated in an earlier post.

Typical large school mentality (my kids go to a school similar in size to McCutcheon).  Let me guess, the entire team believes they have a shot at playing D1 football.  At least that is what the coach has told them, so they have to be weight training for the entire football offseason.  What a fricking joke.

I have to agree that I believe,as do many of our wrestlers, that a wrestling room is important.  Currently, our small number of wrestlers practice on the stage of the cafeteria.  Luckily, no one has rolled, fallen, or been pushed from the mats yet, but, I can see that risk. 

As stated in above posts, our wrestlers have to move the mats on every occasion that the stage is needed.  Sometimes, they are not able to practice because there is not another spot available at that time.  When the mats are on the stage, kids are walking across them in their street shoes, which as we all know can cause damage to the mats, and in a school with a small budget, we definitely cannot afford that.

I agree that a room does not make a wrestler, however, to know that they belong somewhere IS important.

Our son benefited from Jeff Jordan State Champ Camp in Ohio.
