Why a Wrestling Camp?

​

Why go to a wrestling camp - beyond the Ground Up USA Summer Wrestling Camp?

– To change your game as a wrestler.  This means two things:

• Go to camp with a game plan  --> what do I want to improve on at Camp --- what will change My Game!

• Your learning goals are the focus at the camp - not which camp you choose

Always include the goals to improve your:

• mental preparation 

• mental toughness

Determine technique goals by analyzing these 4 questions (for individual matches or for the season). Answering these questions will help you determine what to improve on for you offense and for your defense: 

• Where did I score? 

• Where did I almost score? 

• Where did my opponent score? 

• Where did my opponent almost score?

Build your Technique Goals to improve your game & build your wrestling IQ:

• How to ride guys on top by controlling opponents’ hips --> not getting reversed

• How to turn opponents for back points

• How to get back points & work for pins without getting reversed from that power position

• How to get the 1st take-down (and any take-down throughout the match)

• How to escape from bottom / move on bottom / not get turned on bottom

And choose Personal Wrestling Goals:

• I want to be varsity

• I want to place in the top 3 at in the state tournament

• I want to place at JV State

AND ---- Tell everybody about your goals.
You should be proud of where you are and confident in where you want to go!!!
