Family Support of Wrestlers
http://www.wrestlingassistant.com/
by Neil Turner Director/Coach Mat-Town USA Wrestling Club Lock Haven, PA
Below are some suggestions on how a family can help support their student wrestler:
- Everyone in the family must focus on good nutrition, not just the wrestler.
- When you view a video of the student in training or competition always focus first and foremost on what they do best.
- Encourage the process. The results will take care of themselves. The education is in the journey.
- Support the coaching staff.
- Be sure to provide a good environment for academic work at home.
- You cannot be a fan of other wrestlers when you have a wrestler in your family. Guard carefully what you say about other wrestlers.
- Get involved with the booster organization. Successful programs become a family.
- Be sure your student has clean workout gear every day and a clean towel every day. Skin infection can be prevented by cleanliness, proper rest and good nutrition.
- Provide a great environment for sleep.
