A Few Very Important Wrestling Concepts

...(I can not get up, I just can not, Coach has too much pressure) 'Coach has been telling me all year long to put a lot of pressure in the form of making the bottom wrestler carry your weight, now I understand'....One of my wrestlers telling another coach on why he could not get up when I was on top holding him down. Wrestling is a pretty simple concept to grasp - a wrestler controls the other wrestlers' hips, advantage goes to the one who has control- and the other concept is - body positioning with regards to the other wrestlers' body which creates the unbearable pressure. If someone can master yet alone grasp these concepts, I can rest assure that wrestler will be extremely successful. After practice was done, the wrestler told me that he finally understood the concept of creating that pressure on top, which the bottom wrestler would carry for a round (2 minutes championship bracket or 1 minute consolation bracket). A season worth of trying to make him understand came to fruition today.
