nastics. In fact, one third of high school
             wrestlers starve themselves to "make weight"(WebMd Health par. 14). High school
             wrestling coaches encourage less eating, and low water intake, so that the wrestlers can
             get into a lower weight class. And unlike with most sports, where the athletes stop their
             behavior after the sports season is over, wrestlers tend to continue there behavior all year
             round. An average wrestler's body fat is three percent lower than a normal high school
             student's(WebMD Health par. 14).

             not anorexic, he has done some crazy, and very unhealthy things for wrestling. His coach
             makes the wrestlers spit all the time. I've witnessed this at school. I could always tell who
             the wrestlers were, because they would be walking down the hall and all of a sudden spit
             into the garbage can. This was one of their many ways to dehydrate themselves to loose
             weight. The wrestlers rarely ate anything at lunch when I was in school, and if they did, it
             was hardly anything. I often noticed my brother wouldn't eat dinner with us at home, and
             I got really worried. When I would nag him about eating, his response was always the
             same, "I have to make weight". This "making weight" as they called it, involves losing
             enough weight so they can wrestle in a lower weight class, and therefore have a better
             chance at winning. They are really pressured by their coach and fellow teammates to
             loose weight. So I can see from my brother how a lot of wrestlers end up anorexic.
             Most men will not admit to being anorexic, because it is commonly thought that
