In the heat of a wrestling tournament where I was officiating, my emotions were tested when a coach's behavior crossed the line from heckling to outright aggression. Despite my efforts to maintain composure, the coach's hostile actions escalated to a point where he threw objects, including his phone, directly at me. Feeling threatened and disrespected, I reached a breaking point and reacted impulsively by delivering a swift punch in self-defense. The gym fell silent in shock as onlookers witnessed the unexpected altercation. While I deeply regret resorting to physical force, the coach's behav ..read more

My biggest disappointments in life was never playing high school sports, and I don’t understand how I was supposed to make the team. I worked hard and practiced only to get cut. I wasn’t fit or athletic before high school, and I was competing against kids who wrestled since 5. The gap in experience and talent was so big that it was just too late to close it. I really wish my parents signed me up for something when I was young, but it is too late now submitted by /u/Super_Ad7989 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I know that this should be a question for a doctor, and I will ask a doctor soon. Yesterday was my first day back wrestling after a light injury, I was feeling sick while wrestling and I’m pretty sure I was overheating. The gym is also very hot. This wasn’t a problem last season when I trained in a colder gym. Since I’m gonna keep training during summer and it’s gonna be super hot since I live in Texas. I’ve always been sensitive to heat and this has happened before when I train in hot weather. I was wondering if anyone here has a similar issue to me and is willing to give me some tips to ove ..read more

I wrestled growing up and through high school, but coaching is another beast. As I prepare to have my own family and raise wrestlers I want to ensure they get the highest quality training. So I’m in the wrestling room for folk and spring seasons trying to become the best coach I can be. I’m looking for any literature, certifications (like the CSCS), studies, anything to better prepare me to provide the highest value to the wrestling room. I’m sure 90% of coaching is learning on the job, I’m looking to supplement that. submitted by /u/cleito0 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Is there any specific head movement for the attacking wrestler when performing double leg takedown? I have seen some people perform it with their head moving like high crotch (head moves and pushes opponent) but to me I feel like going straight through the opponent and grabbing the legs is enough (i.e. head movement isn't that important in double leg). Any thoughts? submitted by /u/eaglesdensity [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Our national championship is coming up. It will be a multiple day tournament and the athletes will be weighed every morning.
