first year wrestler

Question
hi, im 17 a junior in high school. I have been training at a local mma gym and decided to wrestle this year. After a week of practice we wrestled a teammate at our booster bash. I was able to keep from getting pinned the first period and control him in top position for the rest of the match, but still ended up losing 7-4. I think from lack of knowledge. Im looking for some good advice. Ill be glad to keep u posted as the season progresses. Oh by the way we have 2 weeks till our first meet. Thanks

Answer
Hey Zach,

Thanks for the question. I would recommend, first having the coaching staff analyze your strengths and weaknesses, in order to come up with a daily routine which will cut down on your learning curve. If you are already naturally dominate on top, then this might be the first order of business - as in, get on and off the mat as quickly as possible in disposing of your opponent before he realizes that you are a rookie. I would focus on balance, strength, conditioning, and quickness - these are all elements that can individually, help you gain a victory. I would also focus on the maintaining the best nutrition and hydration routine in order to have plenty of fuel in your tank and to get bigger, faster stronger - to last a little longer.

I would also check out wrestling training info on-line (i.e. BobbyDouglas.com) or (carykolat.com)to be sure that you are getting the best instruction available for your study time. Keep me posted on your progress.

Yours in the Quest for GOld,
