Best Coaching Advice

Let’s talk about your best piece of coaching advice…either advice you were given or advice you gave to another coach or wrestler (heck it does not even have to be wrestling related – coaching is coaching).

If we get at least 10 responses, we will give away a WrestlingGear.Com t-shirt to someone randomly that posts a response. We will select a winner in about a week…

    Control the hands control the body. Also where the head goes the body goes!

    Senior in high school, wrestling since I was 6. My best piece of advice was always to listen to my coaches, and always look at them between matches. Believe it or not, they do see more than you do, and they do have years of experience that you don’t. You might see only a single, but they see an ankle pick, you just gotta always listen to your coaches and not think there retarded.

    when you step onto the mat you have to know you are going to win and if you dont know your chances of winning are very slim it helped me place second

    Head Up, Back straight, Hips in, Work in to the guy. Circle butt center and shoot your opponent off the mat.

    When doing your moves take your time and dont rush, unless theres short time,always keep your head up and leave it all on the mat

    My best advice from my coach was always stay low and keep changing your level, and to always go out there and leave it all on the mat.

    position matters more than moves stay in good position head up hips in

    Try to incorporate some Judo into your wrestling. After all it is the art of off balancing.

    When throwing a headlock always lead by looking under your armpit. Where the head goes the body will follow.

    Ok, here’s one everyone learns but its something everyone does in a match atleast one time. Never reach back while you are on the ground, for this will let your a opponent to obtain a easy pin.
