I first heard this quote from our Head Coach and the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. The essence of the qoute is about confidence and having an aggressive style, even when wrestling from a defensive position.
If your opponent takes a shot, we teach our wrestlers to sprawl, post and spin, thus turning their shot into your advantage and scoring. Many wrestlers only wish to stop the shot and return to a neutral position.
If we take a shot, our wrestler must finish deep and score in the quickest manner possible. Explosion in a very important aspect in developing a shot that can not be stopped and you must have faith in the shot taken.
Dan Gables qoute summarize's up the mentality needed for the highest levels of success and does it with a tranquil simplicity.
