Practice
Today was a Friday, the day of there wrestling match against MSU . So i found it very odd that the coach had scheduled a practice for that very same day. i thought that it was a dumb call by the coaches to go and pull a move like that. they need a break before they wrestle. so i 12 o'clock they had their wrestling practice. i sat on one of the two workout benches taking my notes of an artifact that i could use for our up coming assignments when i started to notice that things were looking different. things weren't running like they normally ran at the beginning of practices. kids were rolling around all in sweatpants and sweat shirts wrestling each other. But it didn't look they were taking the wrestling part seriously, so it looked like they were just rolling around. some where off by themselves running, jumping rope or wrestling with themselves. i was sitting back looking around and was thinking where are the coaches, where is the order in the practice. i saw the coaches being ok with what they were seeing, and some even joined in and began rolling around and wrestling them while even cracking jokes. i later talked to the head coach and asked him some questions that arose out of me while watching this take place. he told me that this practice was for loosing a couple of pounds before they have to weigh in tonight at MSU. so that n that time span they can have something small to eat or drink so they wouldn't have to starve and hold their weight for the rest of the day. he told me that there is a lot of strategy that goes along with this sport other then just the physical wrestling.
