Is there an average walking weight vs competition weight delta that is typical in wrestling? My kids compete in BJJ and maybe have to cut 1 lb, but most of the time compete at their weight. In wrestling, are kids forced to always go down in competition weight? Also, what impact does that have on their growth rate? “Studies have shown that restricting calories to lose weight can stunt growth.” There’s a reason so many wrestlers are short. Same with gymnastics! Eating disorders are also bad, especially in wrestling
Lee just dominated WC and 2x Silver medalist Gilman and he’s getting better every day as he gets healthy and focuses exclusively on freestyle. When was the last time he lost a freestyle match in his own weight class??
@@xzjayz7925 that was not in his own weight class. He was 110lb and he went up to 125 as a challenge. He lost 2 close, shortened matches. His last actual loss at his own weight was his first year as a cadet. Dan Dennis even said he lost to Lee regularly, including 8-2, as his training partner in Rio for the Olympics. He was what, 17? If he’s 100%, he unstoppable
I think another point for the conversation about ncaa titles converting to senior success is that they are different styles. So have the wrestlers been wrestling both styles or have they wrestled internationally at all. I’m not saying they will not do good because I think both will be coming home with golds but these senior level wrestlers have been free styling their entire careers
Heard from a few coaches that Coleman embezzled money from the UNC boosters and was a major factor in why he got passed up as they don't want that backlash coming to OSU.
I got staph after I got a mosquito bite 😂 You do have to be careful of mosquito bites and going to wrestling/grappling practice. It is an opening, prone to scratching already. I’d recommend covering them before going to wrestling practice
There is no way that Spencer lee will lose the Olympics, hew will win, I'm thinking he might be an Olympic wrestling who wins all matches as a pro, but overall he has been my idol for an year now, and I think he will win any match, but it is true that he hasn't been healthy, but he will get there soon to be 100%, it just takes time.
Love the youth wrestling talk today. I agree its too competition focused. I see kids parents having their 7-9 year olds cutting weight for states. Some of these kids are at the same weight class from 1 year to the next. Its gross. But all of their parents are drinking the same Koolaid sniffing eachother s farts day after day at practice.
Weigh ins can be 2 ways with out changing flow. 1-adjust weight up by amount of shoes and singlet, 2-weigh in when in the hole or in deck. My concerns are 1-focus should be on match not weighing in and rushing to get dressed and shoes on. 2-that’s not going to be healthy when guys are staying dehydrated while they are wrestling all day
The weigh in discussion drives me crazy. Im fine with mat side for youth, but that would kill small high school programs. As a coach at a small high school, we weee able to fill 13 weights by moving guys around. If it was matside weigh ins, we would've filled 10 weights and lost every dual
