Rec. Programs vs Clubs?
Having spent thirteen years in the Iowa public school system as a Head Wrestling Coach and teacher, I have a great appreciation for how difficult it is to build and sustain a winning program. The life blood of any successful public school program is the feeder program. The most successful coaches know this and spend a great deal of their time nurturing and promoting those programs. Selecting the right personnel to oversee the feeder program will be instrumental to the health and longevity of that winning program. The Head Coach needs to be a mentor to his staff and provide them with the resources they need to succeed. The feeder program allows the young wrestlers to develop a sense of ownership in the program and foster the camaraderie with his fellow wrestlers that will carry over to their high school careers. I am old school!! Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!!! With any major endeavor, i.e. building and maintaining a winning program, there will be bumps in the road. Not everyone will see things the same, nor should they. But when those moments happen, take leadership from the Head Coach and be part of the solution. Given that, what is the role of clubs?
Plain and simple, clubs are a resource. As a club coach I purposely do not schedule club competitions in conflict with high school or feeder programs. Clubs provide an opportunity for the wrestler to grow technically and physically during the off-season. Technically, the club should not only ensure that the wrestler is fundamentally sound but should provide exposure to the ever evolving technique of the sport. Being exposed to a variety of techniques allows the wrestler to expand his repertoire, and develop his own unique style. Clubs also allow individuals to train with individuals outside of their own program. The best seek out the best. In a club setting, the wrestlers who may compete against each other during the season have the opportunity to train without the concerns of competitive outcomes. Clubs also give the wrestler the option to have one on one instruction. Given limited resources, most high schools and feeder programs have to teach to the masses. Correcting fundamental faults or improving weaknesses pays huge dividends during the career of the wrestler. Off season club competitions allows the wrestler to experiment, get outside their comfort zone, and continue to grow as a complete wrestler without the pressures of in-season competition. During the season, the club provides opportunities for the wrestler to address specific issues that may be affecting their performance. Clubs can provide assistance with diet and weight loss, mental preparation, and peaking performance. A good club is a resource for wrestling year around.
Wrestling is a grassroots driven sport and needs to maintain the tradition and heritage of home grown programs. Be prideful of you feeder and high school programs, they belong to your community. As a club coach I don’t care where the wrestler comes from, or the fan base that supports him. I only care that the wrestler has chosen to better himself and wants to attain higher goals. I continue to strive to close the gap on what is perceived to be a conflict between clubs, high school, and feeder programs. There is a role for the all three.

The #1 Step For Becoming a Champion WrestlerTRAIN HARD & BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
In so many words, the way you train in practice when no one is looking is the way you're going to wrestle in a match. If you push 110% in practice, your results will be revealed on the mat against your opponent. Putting the extra time in when the other guy doesn't automatically puts you at an advantage. Once you factor in a "train hard, 110%, I believe I can" attitude, there is no stopping how much you will grow as a wrestler. You are apart of the world's oldest sport, and the one that takes the most dedication and sacrifice, hands down. That being said, I promise you, you will not become a champion wrestler over night. You must make the decision yourself to train hard, PUT IN THE TIME, and once you have, the 110% mind set becomes more and more intense, ultimately turning you into the wrestler that you want to be. In the back of your mind you must train harder than everyone else. When you train you must push harder when it hurts, and harder and harder when it hurts more. This type of training and mind set is what separates CHAMPIONS from the average wrestler. Oh, and the #2,#3, and #4 steps are the same as #1.

Off season training is
critical to becoming a dominate wrestler. This is the period of time
where wrestlers will put in the most work, and the majority of these
wrestlers will see most improvement and growth during this period.
Getting on the mat, hitting the gym, and working on cardio is
essential. Along with your work ethic and training programs, the mat
time you get in during the off season is extremely important as well.
There is a great opportunity with the abundance of summer
tournaments, and participating in them is crucial.
Mat Time:
What we mean by mat time is
the amount of matches you get in during the off season period (as well as the time you put in training during off season practices). One
of the fastest ways to becoming the wrestler you want to be is just
this. Getting in 30 to 40 matches over the summer is equivalent to
an extra regular season and summer tournaments are the gateway to
gaining wrestling experience.
