www.tonypurler.comThis clinic focuses on core leg attacks, and finishing stopped shots from the opponents sprawl. As I tell my kids, you don't get points for shooting, you only get points for finishing a shot. Yet, most kids are only proficient as completing a deep attack, and are 'lost' when their opponent sprawls. If you watch college wrestling, or you watched the Olympics, rarely did you see one time where a wrestler attacked an opponent and not have the weight of a sprawl placed upon him. With youth-HS wrestlers, I know most kids just won't shoot if they feel threatened by a good opponent, as they feel he will get his feet back and won't actually fall over for them. But that's not wrestling....that's called a mismatch. Shoot/score, block/defend wrestling, troubleshooting a stopped shot with a finishing series, and perfect position so they will be able to withstand the weight of their opponent is what gets kids attacking aggressive shots with confidence.
Purler Wrestling Academy in the KC area and the state of Kansas is also accepting wrestlers. Please go to my site, or email me at tony@tonypurler.com for information.
