I am all badass in practice but during duals or a tournament I’m a rookie again.

Im a freshmen who wrestled in 7th grade, and my coaches are saying that im “going to be a beast”, but im still super nervous. This helped a lot. Especially the trusting the preparation part.

Thanks this is one of my biggest problems

My training partner and I used this strategy for our bjj competition, a hard drill and burpees warm up. I completely avoided the adrenaline dump and it calmed my nerves. I could feel my opponents fatiguing and hear them starting to breathe heavy during my matches. I won both of my divisions! Thank you for the solid advice!

I mainly panic in practice because I feel like every single thing has to perfect this also applies to school and all my other sports

Yo it’s me again after that tournament I got third place really don’t think I would have got it without this warm up and getting rid of my stress thanks man

In the practice room im a fucking stud, I go toe to toe with a former state champ and then I get to the mat in front of the crowd and wrestle like dogshit. It’s terrible

With wrestling starting back up in the last 3 weeks I’ve been nervous thanks man I’ve got a tournament tomorrow c ya

Well said man, mental part is the hard part for me

Got a tournament tomorrow and I’ve been wrestling fo 4 years but I still get nervous. wish me luck guys !!

Long time coach here.... this is awesome advice and so well put, I'm sending it out to my team

thanks for this, I was definitely misguided thinking I would be better completely wrested before a match

Good advise

Guy on the left smokes before jitz 100%

Thanks for this

i’m about to start 2nd year into wrestling. everytime i’m about to wrestle against somebody, i feel really intimidated, because i’m in the heavy weights and i feel like my opponent will embarrass me or something.

I wrestled a minute in school but this will help my BJJ

thank you sir

I’m glad I’m watching this 2 hours before my tournament

I get really scared during tournaments but I’m still good. I’d have the feeling I’d be better confident

bro i am so good and every one around say im gonna win state and quallify every year i dont win but to be honest im always nervous evan when im better than the kid but has a good record

ive got wrestle off on monday and I know I'm going to beat the kid cause he has to cut ten pounds and I dont. But I'm still haveing anxiety and its 2 days before is that normal?

I get terrified and then my mind goes blank and I feel out of body I just move.

There lies a conundrum. When is a warm too much? So, when you're coming off a cut and you roll from the scale and the weighin, to the mat for a warm up, should you be looking to just hit that mark where you're stretched and warm...got a good sweat going and then take a seat to recover...or should you put together a lengthy warmup that resembles a standard practice. I ask this question because I noticed that my son's team struggles to get through 3 periods...the entire lineup. My son has never had issues with cardio, and especially after a couple weeks of practice. He thinks that they're warming up too hard for too long and nobody has the energy left for a long day of wrestling...this is specifically regarding tournaments or quads. Your thoughts? Any advice??

Yeah I literally fucked up my match cause I wasn’t grounded

Do u think it's like toxic or bad if someone before a match is bouncing up and down before a match

Thanks I got a 20 second pin today on an undefeated kid

Thanks Though they push me hard though. Thanks anyway
