If your facial hair isn't growing in evenly all around your face, keep shaving regularly, and be patient until it does. If you're not sure how evenly your facial hair is growing in, shave your entire face and look for stubble. Does it grow on the tip of your chin as quickly as over your lip? Does it grow under your neck at the same rate as it does on your sideburns? If so, you're ready for growing a beard.

Doing intensity training, cardio, and some strength training a few times a week encourages testosterone growth in males, helping to get facial hair growing. Warm up for three minutes, then do on/off sets, with 30 seconds of all-out exercise, then 90 seconds of moderate exercise. Do sets of seven of these circuits. Get your Vitamin D levels up, either by taking a supplement, or by spending some more time outdoors in the sun, absorbing Vitamin D naturally.

Lots of guys stop growing out facial hair and start shaving because it gets itchy. Understand that itchiness will last for approximately four weeks, before you'll eventually get used to it, once the beard softens slightly.

For some guys, growing a beard out will happen in two or three weeks, while for others it may take as long as several months to get real results. While lots of men like to grow out their beards in cold months for insulation purposes, it's a common misconception that beards are more uncomfortable in hot weather. In fact, beards help protect from UV sun rays, and work to cool the skin during hot weather, trapping sweat close to your face, cooling as it evaporates. While the itchiness associated with beards is typically less desirable during hot weather, it's not something that will do much to keep you warm. Beards offer a variety of other health benefits, including trapping dust to help you avoid asthma attacks and upper respiratory infections, and act as windbreakers, helping to shield your face from cold weather blasts.

SUMMARY: Shave regularly until your facial hair comes in evenly Raise your testosterone levels to speed up facial hair growth. Take care of your skin in the meantime. Start with a fresh shave. Manage the itchiness of the early growth. Be patient. Grow it out whenever you want.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you lose a match, try not to see it as a bad thing. Instead, use your mistakes to help you develop into a better wrestler.

What can you do to ensure that you can overcome this advantage in the future? If your coach offers you advice or feedback, then try to listen with an open mind and do your best to put the advice into practice. Remember that your coaches do not correct you or tell you how to wrestle to show off or make you feel bad, they do so to help you improve as a wrestler. If a coach gives you advice that you do not understand, ask for clarification. If a coach gives you advice that you do not agree with, try the suggestion before you decide whether or not to include it in your practice. Never talk back to your coaches or be disrespectful, even if you totally disagree with them. Before you go into a match, it is important to take about five minutes and visualize yourself winning the match. This practice has been shown to be effective for athletic success. To use visualization, close your eyes and picture yourself achieving your goal. Imagine how you will overcome certain obstacles and how you will feel after you have defeated your opponent. What will you look like? How will you feel? Persistence is one of the best ways to improve as a wrestler, so make sure that you are practicing every day. Maintaining a regular, consistent practice schedule will help you to build up your skills and keep you focused on wrestling. Avoid taking long breaks away from your training. For example, do not take the summer off even if you are not in school. Maintain a regular training schedule in the summer just as you would during the school year.

SUMMARY:
View your mistakes as learning opportunities. Listen to your coach. Visualize yourself succeeding. Practice every day.
