For the past 10 years, I have been writing articles on proper weight management and have been very frustrated by the lack of interest by the wrestling community. The very least of these frustrations was because of the bad name improper weight management has given this great sport. In this article, I will try to cover some of the more important aspects of weight management. I will not get into the unfortunate deaths of the three college wrestlers. I believe everyone is now aware of the life-threatening dangers of some of the weight cutting techniques used in the past. In this article I will attempt to present information from a different approach which, although I believe it should be obvious, it seems to be ignored by most athletes, parents and coaches.
