Thoughts on this: How hard is it for a wrestlerto be on a state champion football team, and then try to get into wrestling mode, ie, weight?

Just wanted to see everyone's view on this

I know it's really hard to make the transfer(condition), but once they get into the wrestling room a few times, it really "gets the ball rolling".

It's not that hard. They've been training for wrestling all summer long, wrestling's not something you just transfer into. Besides, they'd probably started cutting weight a few weeks ago.

Alot of guys used to have trouble with that switch because football coaches dont like players cutting weight during football season.

Top Wrestlers don't cut weight they live 24/7 at that weight. All good football coaches love having top quality wrestlers on the team. Is the guys who drop weight to get by somebody that gives wrestling a bad name about cutting weight anyway.

What about Heavyweights. Some lineman probably gain 25-30 lbs.

That's true. Plus, how can a coach make sure their wrestler/football player isn't cutting weight?
