I am disheartened by the amount of coaches with the "win now" approach. What many coaches and parents don't realize is that kid's wrestling is nothing more than preparation, and bad habits developed now will permeate their entire career. As a teacher I know that an average 10 year old doesn't have the reasoning ability to know why a headlock should only be used at the end of the match. In my opinion, the worst thing that could happen when you're down 5 is throwing your opponent to his back. That only ingrains the thought, "hey, why waste time with these silly shots that are only worth 2 when I can throw a headlock that's worth 5?" The best thing that could happen in that situation is you lose the match and work on what caused you to be down by 5 points in the first place.
