No, drinking water makes you soft.

This is not a joke, this is a strongly held belief in the football coach community.

They will literally do multiple practices per day, multiple hours per practice, no water allowed, every single day during peak summer heat. This is NOT an exaggeration. Sports coaches in the US are BROKEN

Applies to wrestling too

Sports in America is mostly just a way of letting dudes blow off steam by emotionally abusing helpless children, one of our favorite pastimes.

I love this clip from King of the Hill portraying it accurately

It should also be noted that now that some coaches have realized they have to let kids drink water or they might get sued, they’re just forcing kids into water intoxication instead, since the torture and deaths are the point
