KOLAT BACKFLIP

DVD's vs. Kolat.com

I recently had a conversation with a coach and he explained that he loved my site and tuned in for the live clinics every week but wasn't a member of the site.  He explained that he loved his DVD collection and that he liked the idea that if he needed to go back to review he could pop the DVD into the player and find the technique he was looking for.  He also explained buying a membership to Kolat.com each year was not within his budget.

I recently had a forum question on the site and the question was simply, “How did you push yourself and achieve what you did, what was the one thing you did that set you apart?”  I had to think about the question and how to answer it.  There are many things that contribute to my success as a wrestler, but when I really thought about it I did something everyday that I believe is the one major contributing factor to my success in the sport!  I had to go there every day in my mind.

Competition Warm-Up Routine

If you could pick when to hit the best guy in the tournament the first round is the time to do it.  Most wrestlers like to ease into events, do not warm-up properly, fatigue easy, quit more often in the first round of the event if they have a tough opponent!  Warm-up properly and the first round of the event will work in your favor more times than not.  Don’t lost matches only because you did not warm-up and get the burn out of your body the day of an event.
