If your wrestler:
- gasses out late in matches
- struggles to make weight consistently
- balloons up overnight
- cramps or feels flat at tournaments
This is where you start.
Hydration isn’t about “drinking more water.”It’s about drinking the right amount, with the right sodium, and replacing what’s lost at practice.
I put together a simple hydration lesson that covers:
- how much water wrestlers actually need
- why plain water isn’t enough
- how to replace fluid lost at practice
- common hydration mistakes I see every season

This is the baseline I expect every parent and athlete to understand before we talk about weigh-ins, cutting, or tournament nutrition.
— Coach Joe
“If your wrestler struggles with weigh-ins, back-to-back days, or energy at tournaments, this hydration plan needs to be individualized.”
