I recently had a parent tell me that their son seems to wrestle better when a certain coach is matside. Some times wrestlers seem to respond better to certain coaches. i try to remind our kids that we are their to help them during a match and cannot win a match for them. with that said. i think that if a child seems to do better
with certain coach matside then by all means let that person coach (as long as he is coaching in a manner that suits the parents and club). another thing we try to do is to let the kids decided what position they want in the second and third periods. this seems to help with decision making skills and self confidence.
