This mother needs to let go of the reigns... Forcing your kids to go out to a restaurant with his friends during a weight cut should be considered a form a psychological torture.
You’re off your rocker if you think your 8th grader is going to win a state title if he’s been cutting 6-7 pounds during the week and didn’t plan on refueling after weigh ins for a full day.. If you’re that separated from reality you need to remove yourself from the decision making process and default to the coach’s stance for the child’s well being.
Exactly, I feel weight cuts should be a gradual process. When I wrestled my coaches never forced weight cuts and had me wrestle at my weight in less I wanted to go lighter. But cutting weight for any one who hasn’t hit puberty weight cutting is unhealthy.
When I had to cut weight in high school, people would ask me how I was, and I would say, “if there were any race other than the human race, I’d go join it.” After a while, they stopped asking. I got extremely aggressive and irritated I can’t imagine what these KIDS are going through, especially with their weird status-obsessed parents!
I once had to cut 0.3 pounds the night before weigh ins. Then I couldn’t even eat or drink the day after until 4 pm. Some of the worst moments of my life was weight cutting. And I’m in high school. I can’t imagine how these kids feel. Terrible.
Coach nails this one. Wrestle a comfortable weight. Why be miserable through the whole experience? And if you can't compete against others in that class.....maybe concentrate on smarter moves rather than cutting weight.
I am a highschool wrestler and I agree that kids should not cut weight. Especially before puberty. But losing 1-2 pounds to make weight is not the same as cutting weight. But anything over a couple pounds should not be forced upon a young wrestler, it should be there choice
I agree, what the hell is this and why is this being recommended to me? Why are they recording this and are they that dense that they think this is okay to actually post this
I almost died cutting too much weight in high school. these parent should be smacked making these young kids cut weight. these parents drink and have fun while the kids are miserable, great roll models. Jason Layton said it right, kids should not be cutting weight
My parents tried to make me cut weight when I was little. Except inexperience worked against them, because the only thing i had to do to cut weight was eat no high-calorie things for a few days, and not eat/drink for a few hours. Thank god my parents didn't know better, i don't know how i would have ended up were they as experienced as the parents in this video.
our HS wrestling coach got in trouble for having wrestlers down in the furnace room wearing sweat suits doing god knows what to cut weight. we had a hell of a wrestling team though I will give him that….
The movement of matside weigh-ins before every match for all wrestlers and fighters needs to start at youth wrestling. If it starts at youth and they grow up with it within 15 years weight cutting would be gone.
@@nickankeny4638 he typically walks around at 108-110 lbs but had to drop to I think 104 for 14 year old class and again down to 99 flat for high school division
@@jeremystephens4736 thanks for telling me. At the start of my sophomore year (last year), I cut 11 pounds at the start of the year and 17 at the end. By the end of the year, I was ready for the season to be over because I was sick of cutting. I cut for 3 months which was our entire season. For 2 years younger than me, he’s cutting a good amount. I can’t believe that the mom thought it was ok to take everyone to dinner even though he can’t eat
Coach Jay... huge improvement from the early episodes of the Grind (not trying to put down the earlier ones as I enjoyed those as well) I love the new format/style of these new episodes where you are walking us through the events or explaining the different aspects of what’s taking place! I think this will also make non wrestlers enjoy the show as well. GREAT STUFF!! Looking forward to more!!
These parents & coaches are trying to live thru their kids. Very sad. 99% of these kids will not be championship caliber wrestler's anyway but I wouldn't expect anything less from these obnoxious Long Islander's
Obnoxious comment, my son is dedicated, works hard, knows how to eat healthy & rarely cuts weight. And when I say cuts weight, it’s a lb or 2. When wrestling on dual teams, everyone has to wrestle their spot so sometimes you have to lose a lb or 2, no big deal. We cut sugar & garbage out for a couple days & eat protein fruit & veggies. To make your comment is obnoxious!
@@MC-yy7lo Oh yeah your the psycho parent berating his son all the time. The kids already a basket case thanks to you. Your doing a great job keep up the good work. I bet the coach loves having you around. As a coach for 30+ years you wouldn't be allowed within a mile of my facility!!
@@richardjoseph8683 lol, you’re the typical uninformed person that puts their 2 cents in where it doesn’t belong. Making derogatory comments about people you know nothing about, you see 2% of what really goes on & you can ask Jason about that. You are exactly what is wrong with the world today. And calling an 11 y/o kid a basket case, only proves my point, and proves you are a low-life.
When I was in wrestling as a young boy... We wrestled in weight class... Not by weight requirements. Weight requirements didn't take place until High School Level.
Coach told him to be mature and speak up to his mom. He has already don’t that but she was being stubborn for no rea reason and in the end did exactly what he asked
at 29 its still fresh in my head the 4 years i wrestled in high school and whats so mind boggling is that we would drill moves over and over, but we were never formally taught the SCIENCE of weight cutting. luckily my father was a wrestler and helped me figure it out.
Another exciting video! This is our favorite wrestling series. Keep it up ! We were really hoping to catch you guys at the Southern Throne. We brought a ton of teams from MN and had a blast !
The one with the dude that had to cut to 99 is messed up. That’s like 10% of his body weight. I’m a lot bigger than him and cutting 8 pounds messes me up, he’s cutting 10 as a pretty small middle schooler.
So many kids who were just absolute units in wrestling give up towards the end of highschool and before college because it’s honestly such a draining sport. Some parents go overboard and some just get tired of it
Excellent video by far, your best you have put out, hopefully these young parents and new wrestlers to the sport will get something out of this, one of your coaches mentioned technique and conditioning over cutting put a big smile on my face cuz that's how we roll over here in Cal
I have found the best way to cut weight and keep your energy is to take in higher protein and cut the carbs . The body does not retain protein it uses it as fuel ⛽️ , but carbs are the opposite ; the body takes sugar and carbs and turns it into fat in the cells. 👍
My pops left it up to me to cut weight if I wanted to cut to the lower class it was my decision, if not I usually wrestled a weight class above or some times 2 above my natural weight usually being 5 + pounds light for the weight class I wrestled. If I wrestled 120 I was walking around at 115 not wanting to cut. I still won state in highschool and in junior wrestling
Yeah man i agree! I know so many guys that were cutting 10+ lbs since they were 8 and it never helped them when they got to high school level or they quit all together due to not wanting to cut 20 lbs because their parents wanted that. I knew a really good wrestler that intentionally got F's so he wouldn't have to cut that type of weight.
How is this kids mom letting him cut so much weight. I wish I had a mom like that, my mom would get so pissed that I was cutting and wouldn’t eat as much and she almost called coach on me
@@WrestlingTournamentsDotCom No I'm not. Coaches in general. I never let my kids cut weight no matter how pissed off the parents got at me. You wrestle your weight & take your lumps & learn from your mistakes. By the way I volunteered all my time & never charged anyone a dime. I did it for the love of the sport
I wish I had some of these coaches when I was wrestling... I always wrestled heavier weight classes cause I did not enjoy cutting weight... and I did well... but my coaches always would say things like you can be a beast at a lower weight... I ended up quitting the varsity team because of this...
I brought wrestling in to my family and into my little brothers life when he was a kid I never let him cut weight don’t force your kid to cut weight you saw him upset dehydrated hungry then when you see that it was wrong to put your son through that you finally change the weight I agree with the coach don’t worry about weight cutting until later in your wrestling career
that kid, jason, what youre doing to him is wrong, kids shouldnt even compete at high level, they should be having fun, Ive studied the effects of early top sport specialization on kids/ "young athletes" it goes from growth issues to depression, thats all im gonna say.
At state I was the only one who wrestled and had some teammates and coaches come along, the night before we went to arbys and all I ate was some fruit I brought while everyone else ate burgers. It sucks watching people eat when your cutting.
This is some hard work I go to terminator nationals this weekend I wrestled 192 1 month ago I was on exact weight now I am wrestling 170 weighing in at 168
You shouldn't cut weight until highschool at the earliest, but my senior year I cut from 210 to 195 in a single night to make weight and I guarantee if anyone had been making me do it besides myself I would have never talked to them again
I'm not a wrestler. I enjoy the sport but I am not a fan of weight cutting. I just saw a video of a team heading out for an out of state tournament, When the coach took attendance he called the kids by weight, He wouldn't use their names. That's a little too far.
I’m not gonna go as far as to say that i think Jason’s mom is a terrible mother… i will say however that she clearly has ZEROOOOOOOO idea how hard it is to cut weight. Parents who make their kids cut weight, should also cut that weight with them. That way when you feel like it’s unbearable, it probably is
