The advice shared in this guide is based on my long association with combat sports such as wrestling, boxing and various forms of martial arts and military combatives, as a competitor at the youth, high school and college levels; and as a parent and coach of combat athletes. Additionally, the content you are about to read was greatly influenced by my personal observations of and interactions with numerous world class and national-caliber combat athletes and their coaches during the past 40 years. Some of the content of this guide was taken from my book titled - Killer America's Elite Special Operations Warriors Share Lessons & Advice To Help Young Athletes Become Champions! This book that was specifically written for young athletes and it contains some excellent material on personal development, nutrition, physical training, mental toughness, and stress control techniques that would be of great benefit to all combat athletes, especially those at the youth and high school levels.
