I am very excited to begin our
2020 wrestling program again for this year 2011!
Every year will bring some new challenges and no matter what they might be we should always strive to become more competent and more confident in all the things we like to do.
I like to encourage you to take some time to address these areas:
- Establish your academic goals for this year.
- Take time to re-read your athlete’s code of conduct.
- Establish your wrestling goals for this year.
- Ask your mum, dad & coach to support you in achieving your set academic & wrestling goals.
- Print the 2011 Wrestling Calendar and put it onto your wall or fridge
Achieving any set goals in life is like learning a new wrestling move – I will use the example of successful duck under: first phase requires learning a good stance and the duck under move. After you have learned the move correctly now you will look for opportunities where you will be required to take fast action in taking the opponent down by using the duck under move. This will allow you to get behind the opponent and bring him to the ground. When on the ground you will now try to pin your opponent with learned ground technique that will allow you to be victorious in your match.
‘Wrestlers do everything: step by step’
Wrestlers are well known for their persistence and commitment to training. All wrestlers learn that to be successful does not happen over night, and each wrestler always takes one step at a time to learn something new and works towards achieving what he/she desires for most - ‘to be victorious’. I must say ‘victory’ should not always been seen as winning over your opponent. Victory can also be seen as climbing the rope, doing well at school, completing any wrestling move successfully, working out your home problems with mum, dad and your siblings, being on time in your sessions, helping your older or younger sibling, and being a good team mate and so on.
There are many hidden victories in a day and so be encouraged to find them and become the best you can be in anything and everything in 2011.
