Reminders… Following a hard work out, it is essential
that you replace lost vitamins and minerals by eating/drinking properly.
Stay away from empty calories (limit consumption of candy, soda, etc.)
Make an effort to balance your food groups
It is encouraged that you have a small snack an hour before practice. (granola or power bar).
It is mandatory that every team member shower before leaving the the school.
You should also…
Inspect your body daily (notify the coaching staff of possible skin infections)
Have clean, dry clothing for every practice Wash hands after bathroom use Use sanitary wipes on skin abrasions and
always have them covered Wash knee pads and head gear several times
a week
Do not leave clothes, knee pads, tape, etc. in the wrestling room. Keep the facility clean!
An outbreak of skin infections could cause our program to lose the opportunity to compete. Everyone must play a part in preventing such an occurrence.
Communication is key! Notify the coaching staff of serious or nagging injuries.
Utilize MTHS training staff as the first avenue for injury assessment.
It is expected that the injured athlete rehab with the training staff, and participate in team activities when possible.
By taking care of your body, injuries can be prevented.
This process is based upon both competitive and participation objectives.
1) Seeding: Wrestlers will be seeded and drawn into a bracket by the coaches. Final matches in each weight will be the best two of three matches (if warranted).
2) Wrestle off weight: Both wrestlers must make a five-pound allowance.
3) Important- Coaches’ Rights: The coaching staff reserves the right to change or amend the team selection process. The staff also reserves the right to pull an individual from the line-up, in spite of wrestle-off results. Reasons for doing so would include such things as ineffectiveness, lack of effort, or discipline issues.
Position – Technique – Toughness – Loyalty
The program above all else!
