"First: keep a pair of nail clippers in your wrestling bag. The tournaments are long enough already, and don't need to get held up by refs sending kids to the side to get their nails clipped before the first match.
Second: avoid bleacher butt by keeping one pillow in the wrestling bag for every butt that's going to be in those bleachers all day. These can double as a cushy place for your head if you find somewhere to take a snooze. (Just don't sleep through a match!) Also, get up and move around -- this keeps the blood moving and helps to stave off that bleacher pain.
Third: put your name on all of your wrestling equipment. There's so much floating around, you don't need to risk losing yours. We used to find shoes and headgear all the time beneath the bleachers.
Fourth: bring healthy, energy snacks. Most tournaments sell junk food, and you hardly want to encourage surges and drops of energy during the day, which is what injections of sugar do for you. And you don't want to feel lethargic because of greasy burgers and fries.
Fifth: bring something to pass the time. There's a lot of time between matches. Books, homework, even Gameboys (with earphones) are good ways to enjoy yourself or to be productive along the way. (Mom or Dad might be able to even get some work done.)
