The following critique is of the wrestler wearing yellow.
This was your first event so you have much to learn but for your first bout I think you did a great job! I’m going to give you some techniques to work on with your dad and coaches to help your overall wrestling. Work on these moves in practice and I think you will see a big difference in your wrestling over the next couple months. Please send me another video later in the year so I can see how you have improved. Best of Luck!
General Thought:
- Always be ready on the whistle! You lost position just because you were not ready a couple times.
Bottom:
- You need to work on a solid base once you have done that look for hand control before coming up off the bottom. Please see following videos inside library: holding base partner drill, holding base drill
- You attempted a stand-up a couple times but never had the correct pressure. Your pressure has to be going back into your opponent to achieve the escape point. Please see following videos inside library: pressure back into opponent with staggered stance, fighting hands explanation
Feet:
- Stance, you need to work on your stance. Without a stance you can never protect yourself! Please see following videos inside library: Stance & Motion, Position Drills Stance
- When your opponent is in on your legs you have to immediately be thinking of your sprawl. Please see following videos inside library: arching the sprawl, dangers of not arching the sprawl
