It's Time to Man Up
By Carl Adams, 09 Dec, 09 @ 10:47am
The season is in full swing for junior high, high school and college wrestling. We are also rolling in to the Christmas holiday period. I view this as the most difficult part of a season. This is a time when self discipline, self control and sacrifice will play a big role in the success of your season. There will be temptation all around that may be counter productive to your training and the focus you need to succeed at the end of the season. Lots of food, idle time and perhaps the lack of consistent direction from a coach can lead to a very rapid decline in your progress.
A wrestler with a champion's mind set will use this period to distance him or herself from the opposition. This would be my recommendation. 1) Return from the break in better shape then you were in before the break. 2) Manage your weight as if you will have to step on a scale within the next day. Reconfirm your commitment to your goals every day during the break.
Have a great Christmas break.
