Wrestling Technique for Smaller Athletes: Evasive Strategies for Varsity
Question
i have been wrestling for 2 years and wrestle 145 in high school and when i wrestle other guys they r always stronger than me. i have got win over some but im going into varsity this season. any advice for what my technique should be against stronger guys?
Answer
ramon, i know exactly how you feel. i was never the strongest guy so how i adapted was to become evasive. the strong guys can't be strong unless they get ahold of you. this means you're going to have to work a little harder. you're conditioning will have to be a little better then the other guys'. turning your style into more of a marathon runner then a wrestler. keep the tempo of the match up so they just wear themselves out. the key is to keep your feet moving. its hard to hit a moving target. good luck!
