Wrestling is one of the most popular high school sports among boys in the United States -- with more than 270,000 boys from public and private U.S. high schools participating in the 2012 to 2013 school year, along with about 8,700 girls -- according to the National Federation of State High School Associations.
Refining your technique and being smart about your training can help you become a healthier and more successful wrestler, perhaps even putting you in contention for a state championship.
