Tournaments & Preseason

Our season is only 4 weeks away and we need as much mat time as we can before season so coach has his varsity wrestlers go to tournaments on Saturdays to go out there and figure out what we need to work on still and perfect it as much as we can while we still have time. On the last two tournaments we've been doing good some of our wrestlers have placed either 1st , 2nd or 3rd and others have been notified what they need to work on and go over it. We started practicing more longer and working our asses of more and starving our self Friday nights but its all been worth it the results we get in our bodys and matches have been rewarded for how much hard work we put in at practice. Our goal is to have everything we struggle with a piece of cake by the time season starts.

Wrestling Conditioning

Since were getting closer to season in November were making practice longer. We practice our moves , tilts , chicken wings , breakdowns, and take downs. After that we do live wrestling for a good minute usually everyday we do it for a longer period and then the lower levels go home and the varsity squad does line drills from sprints to all kind of crazy drills coach Gaze has in mind. If any of the fellow wrestlers doesn't complete the drill all the way we start it all over and usually there's someone who doesn't get it together and makes the whole team redo all the drills. If were close to a tournament we usually do live wrestling , line drills and tire flips out in the softball field just to bust our asses of more then usual and be ready for the tournaments. We usually starve our selfs the nights before our tournaments to make weight for the weigh ins and then eat after that .

Week 1
This week i worked on organizing my project and figuring out what is it that i'm going to do and need for my project. I'm going to need a camera to be able to record all the footage of wrestling. I also needed to find someone who was going to record and explain the moves before doing them. I needed to confirm with my coach if its okay with me doing my English project in class and using the wrestling room to record. I also worked on some wrestling drills and take downs and break downs and a couple of tilt series and chicken wing series. Practice is getting more intense and difficult because as we get close to Halloween we get closer and closer to a tournament in Las Vegas for those in Varsity that fit there weight and are working hard for it, I'm hoping to to be prepared and ready to experience something new.
