Excellent posts by Travius!!

... and actually, by all!

But a topic I've mentioned and was expand on by Travius is coaches allowing wrestlers to get away with sloppy technique.

Technique is kind of a strange animal, the proper way to shoot a double leg may be open to debate. Whether you take an inside or outside penetration on ones hi-crotch can be argued! But I feel there are certain fundamentals that are absolute.

Two that come to mind are: shooting without a setup and shooting a far leg!

Others might be: finishing on your knees, shooting straight in to your opponent, and tying up ear-to-ear.

If the HS coach makes a choice not to be involved ... then a kids club is really hampered.

Travius mentioned, a "lack of qualified coaches!" I think Reds' suggestion is a good one! Maybe our Bronze clinics need to pay more attention to technique!

Great discussion ... keep your thoughts coming!


Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
