As we start to get in the heart of wrestling season, it is important to remember
to stay committed to the goals you set at the beginning of the season. A quote I
love from Sam Walton's autobiography (of Wal-Mart Fame) is "And somewhere along
the line, these folks stopped short of setting the goals and paying the price
that needed to be paid."
I absolutely love this book. If you are interested in running your own business
or enjoy auto-biographies, the book is titled "Sam Walton - Made in America - My
Story" by Sam Walton with John Huey.
Okay back to wrestling. In this newsletter we will highlight photos from top
high school matches in Illinois. Class AA powerhouses Providence (winner of 6
out of the last 7 State Titles), St. Rita (last years State Champs), Proviso
East (winner of 10 State Titles, and Montini - Class A Powerhouse all wrestled
in one heck of a quad. Below will be a link to the photos.
Midlands Wrestling Tournament. Probably one of the top tournaments in wrestling.
Check out the photos captured during the Consolation Rounds, Quarter Finals, and
Finals of the tournaments. See the top wrestlers from Illinois, Iowa, Iowa
State, and many ex-collegiate wrestlers like Bono and Williams.
Special offer for the next 5 people that spend $150 or more today. We will ship
your product for free via Ground Delivery. In the event ground is not available,
we will reduce your shipping by the Normal Ground shipping charge. No upgrades
to Priority will be made unless Ground shipping is not available to you.
And for any order over a $150 that is not in the first 5, we will ship it for
1/2 off the ground shipping rate. Again no express shipment methods or upgrades
are available for this offer.
This is a tremendous offer to save a couple bucks on shipping and get some new
gear for the end of the season. This offer is only for today and today only.
At the bottom of the newsletter, I put an article used with permission from the
Gatorade Sports Sciene Institute. The article covers muscle soreness and
provides ides for treatment and minimizing your muscle soreness.

COACHES' CORNER - MUSCLE SORENESS WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT
Priscilla M. Clarkson, Ph.D.
University of Massachusetts
1996
Muscle soreness can be produced by many types of muscular activities. It is most
frequently caused by:
Movements that resist gravity or forward momentum, such as downhill running,
lowering heavy barbells, and the downward phase of push-ups or sit-ups; and
Movements that resist forces exerted by stronger opponents, such as a pin or
hold in wrestling and a block in football.
These movements produce tension as the involved muscles are forced to lengthen.
The muscle actions needed for these movements are known as "eccentric" or
"negative" actions. While all activities involve some eccentric actions, such
actions are most prominent in the aforementioned sports movements.
WHAT CAUSES SORENESS?
Popular explanations for muscle soreness include lactic acid accumulation,
muscle spasms, or muscle damage. Lactic acid and muscle spasms have been largely
discredited as reasons, but the muscle damage explanation has a sound scientific
basis.
Movements that cause muscle soreness have been shown to produce localized damage
to the muscle fiber membranes and contractile elements. Chemical irritants such
as histamine are released from damaged muscles and can irritate pain receptors
in the muscle.
Muscle damage often causes a swelling of the muscle tissue, which creates enough
pressure to stimulate pain receptors. How- ever, it has been shown that severe
swelling often persists long after the muscle soreness has disappeared. Thus,
the pain receptors either gradually adapt to the swelling or to some other
factors present.
Whatever the precise mechanisms, current scientific thought points toward muscle
damage as the culprit in muscle soreness.
TREATMENT OF SORENESS
Typical recommendations for treatment of muscle soreness include stretching,
topical application of athletic balms, creams, and/or ice, submersion in hot
baths, and exposure to a sauna. Each of these treatments may provide temporary
relief, but none is effective for long. The use of aspirin or other
anti-inflammatory drugs may provide some relief but scientific studies of these
effects have been equivocal.
Since no effective treatment has been identified, training programs should be
designed to minimize or prevent soreness.
MINIMIZING SORENESS
Athletes who have sore, stiff muscles will not be able to practice or perform to
their full potential. One reason for this is that damaged muscles can result in
a loss of strength. The new training program, therefore, should be gradually and
progressively increased in intensity and duration over several weeks to prevent
or minimize soreness, weakness, and injury.
Furthermore, the early phase of the training program should minimize unnecessary
movements that have a large eccentric component such as downhill running and
plyometric jumping. When training for cross-country running and other activities
in which eccentric actions cannot be avoided, coaches should allow ample time
for muscles to recuperate.
Sore muscles are usually damaged muscles. As with any damaged tissue, damaged
muscles must be given time to heal. This may require adding a few easy days of
training following a training day that causes marked muscle soreness.
