Diet for Competitive Wrestling
Hi! My name is Matthew Moyles I’m a coach here at Minisink Valley, I’m here on behalf of Expert Village and today we’re going to go over competitive wrestling. Wrestling is a very demanding sport. Wrestlers are supposed to exercise discipline both on and off the mat. In order to maintain a good body weight, wrestlers are suggested to stay away from candies, heavy fats, such as peanut butter, lard. Stay away from foods high in cholesterol, bacon and stuff like that. You want to stay away clear of also any food that gets broken down slowly. The suggested diet is of mostly fruits, vegetables and complex carbs that can be broken down quickly. Pastas are excellent dishes before matches providing you with the necessary energy that you need to go out and wrestle for six full minutes. Wrestlers are expected to maintain their body weight to fit in to certain weight classes ranging from 96 pounds all the way up to 275 pounds.
