We will leave on June 4th at 5 am from in front of John Ehret High School (Believe me when I say I won't wait for ANYONE). Please download the list of what a wrestler must bring to camp. We don't have much room in the van so please pack as light as possible. Any balance that is still owed must be paid before we leave on June 4th. I will let everyone know their balance. I still need copies of wrestler's medical cards.

Mills - Hammer Lock to Thread the Needle

INTRODUCTION

Some athletes will reduce their body weight in hopes of increasing their chances of winning. Low-body weight is desirable for at least one of three reasons: 1) appearance in aesthetic sports (diving, figure skating); 2) improved performance in events where lower body weight may increase speed; or 3) a certain weight category must be achieved. The shortsightedness of athletes may lead to weight-loss methods that hurt performance and endanger health instead of enhancing the opportunity for success. Our expert panelists rely on their research and clinical experiences to discuss the problems associated with weight loss in athletes, and recommend alternative approaches that athletes and those who supervise such athletes might employ.
