🟥 START HERE — Welcome to MATready
If you’re here, it’s because one of two things is happening: - Your wrestler struggles with energy, recovery, or weight - Or you’re trying to avoid the mistakes that ruin seasons Either way — you’re in the right place. I’m Coach Joe, and MATready exists for one reason: 👉 To help wrestlers make weight safely, fuel performance, and stop fearing food. This is not about extreme cuts. This is not about starving kids. This is about smart nutrition, hydration, and weight management that actually works. What MATready is (and isn’t) ✅ MATready IS: - Wrestling-specific nutrition - Safe, realistic weight management - Education for parents and athletes - Systems that work for in-season wrestling ❌ MATready is NOT: - Bro science - One-size-fits-all plans - Adult dieting applied to kids - “Just sweat it out” advice Wrestlers are different.Wrestling seasons are different.And nutrition needs to reflect that. 🔑 Where to start (IMPORTANT) Go to the Resource Vault. That’s where I’ve placed the foundation lessons every wrestler and parent needs to understand. Start with: 👉 Hydration for Wrestlers (Pinned) Hydration affects: - performance - recovery - next-day weigh-ins - and how hard weight cuts feel If hydration is wrong, nothing else works. How to use this community This group is built in layers: 1️⃣ Resource Vault Foundational lessons everyone should understand 2️⃣ Community Posts: Education, reminders, and real-world context 3️⃣ Paid Content / Coaching: Individual plans, precision, and advanced strategies Free content gives you clarity. Paid coaching gives you precision. Both matter. A quick reality check If your wrestler: - can’t eat on weigh-in day - rebounds 5–8 lbs overnight - feels flat by the second match - is constantly stressed about weight That’s not discipline.That’s a system problem. MATready fixes the system. Final note from Coach Joe My job is to: - protect young athletes - improve performance - and remove unnecessary stress
