Coaches and Responsibilities

     Coaches in this generation (for the most part) only care about how much weight a football player, wrestler, or any other athlete puts on or loses. I have been to many sport clinics and they have not covered the hydration issue in great detail. It is known in all sport societies that athletes use supplements to hinder their weight problem or use them to progress the weight gain. No one should ever doubt the affects of low water in their system. Low water levels can lock up your kidneys and and the supplements will not have the right fluid levels to pass through your system. This will leave particles behind that will hinder your workout experience and can injure your internal functions in normal working conditions through your daily routine. A male using these supplements should drink about 12 to 14 glasses of water a day, and women knowng that they carry more water in their bodies should drink 11 to 12 glasses a day. Saying this does not mean that you should not drink more if your body wants it. My response to this is that coaches should have classes over the affects of dehydration and the athletes should have to pass that class in order to play that sport. This comes from my experience of losing an extreme amount of weight due to wtrestling and trying to make weight every week.  More on this can be found at http://www.inspiredliving.com/dehydration/a~dehydrationeffects.htm
Any comments about this would be great, especially if you are a young athlete wanting more answers.
