description: This is a new book written to help wrestlers on all levels achieve their best by competing as close to their minimum natural weight (and proper weight class) without compromising their health, and get the full benefits of the sport of wrestling. Advantages of this book include its completeness and easy readability, with important "take home" messages highlighted. While written for the wrestler, it also keeps the coaches’, parents', trainer's and team physician's perspectives in mind. It teaches how proper weight management is much better than "cutting weight", how to get the right calories and nutrients from the right sources, how conditioning and training apply to proper weight management, and how to avoid lifestyle mistakes that can hurt performance. Also, it is intended to help wrestlers learn healthy lifestyle and eating habits that will benefit them long after they have stopped competing. Other aspects of health and wrestling are addressed in the Bonus Section, which covers topics like skin care, guidelines for parents, when to use heat and cold for injuries, cauliflower ear, illness prevention, wrestling room sanitation, and other topics.
