Last year, my grandson lifted weights, and participated in as many tournaments as he could, he went to mishawakas as well as clays wrestling room. He was a regional qaulifier as a freshman and now he's a state qaulifier as a sophmore. All i can tell u is lift weights, run, and get around to as many tournaments as you can, 20-25 matches could be a season, so say for instance your a freshman and u get 20 matches in the regular season on varsity, during off season u get twenty more matches ( so this acts as your sophmore season ) then your sophmore year comes around and your wrestling like a junior, mat time and technique drills helped him out alot this year!
