Cutting Weight

Weight cutting may be the most vile and misunderstood part of the fight game. While I have felt absolutely heartbroken seeing my fighters get finished in big fights or being injured in training, nothing has hurt me more as a coach than seeing a fighter laying on the floor in agony, barely able to sweat anymore, telling that me that their organs hurt, all the while knowing they have to drop a few more pounds. What is worse is that even at high levels I have seen fighters and coaches go about the process of cutting weight completely wrong. I believe irresponsible weight cutting leads to serious long-term metabolic consequences that are not yet fully understood. For this reason, I would not suggest cutting weight at all for youth practitioners of combat sports, including high school wrestling.
