Why is nutrition important?
- The lighter you weigh, the harder it is to separate from your competition. If they are bigger than you, it's likely that they are also stronger than you, putting you at a disadvantage
- If you can't distinguish yourself, how do you expect to be recruited by the elite D1 schools?

"After being educated in how important weight is to be recruited, our son John went from 125 lbs in July 2023 (rising 7th grader) to 200 lbs in August 2025. That's 75lbs in 2 years, which has put him in a position to start on Varsity as a 9th grader in Florida."

"Coach Cole emphasized the importance of weight early on in our training sessions. After implementing the 6 meals a day quota, it's help build Ethan into a 200 lb 8th grader. This has given him the opportunity to already be recruited by colleges."
