  1. What I've learned on the board in the last 2 weeks - Nobody wrestles sick kids Everybody adheres to weight loss regulations. Man I'm really glad Indiana is of such high integrity, kudos to you all!

  2. this is an example of a D-bag comment for anyone who is reading. Just wanted to point it out since Y2 won't install the "dislike" comment button for me.

  3. Reasons why a coach might not want separate private instruction during the season. 1. Potential IHSAA violation 2. Conflicting technique or strategy 3. Academy coach working with other kids in the same weight 4. Higher potential for burnout or fatigue due to extra workouts There is more to this than what you are leading onto.

  4. You can add them yourself. Just go to the results section. Then individual results and add the wins and score. Just takes a couple of minutes.

  5. Again another indiana rule to hold OUR kids back. One of the few reasons we will ALWAYS be behind new jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois.

    That's the one I remember as well. At the state finals: Ayersman, Beck, Campbell, McKinley, Todd, Harvey -- Plus the youngsters Welch & Crume All 8 guys wrestled under the lights.

  9. I don't consider myself to be a hater. I'm actually a fan of Asa and think he wrestles a fun to watch, aggressive style. 1.5% weight loss per week to get to 113 would put your max at 114.7 in a 1-week period. 114.7 and 133 are not ALIKE. They are not SIMILAR. They are not ALMOST THE SAME, or any other word you'd like to use to describe two things that are similar. "Like" is not the key word here, because 133 and 114.7 are not ALIKE. Exaggeration about the amount of weight you cut is not "cool". It hurts our sport. I'm sure most kids lose more than 1.5% in a week, probably even in a practice. It doesn't need to be published or exaggerated. It's not cool, especially when you're an athlete who a lot of peers and young wrestlers look up to. I just think that when Mr. Faulkens comes to a coaches dinner in the Region and lectures 50 coaches about adhering to the weight management plan, and then a couple weeks later an article is published about a state champion (one of the faces of the sport at the high school level in our state) cutting 20 pounds in a week, it's not a good look. Just my two cents...

  10. Great points made in nearly all the above posts. I would only add that strictly from a legality standpoint......private sessions are in fact legal. This came from Assistant Commisioner Robert Faulkens himself, in a response to an email our AD & I sent. He paralleled privates (paid) to more of a clinic. Obviously no other athletes from separate schools can be involved, the clinician can have no direct contract or be coaching at another in-state high school, and also that you can't have the individual instructing multiple kids at once. He referred us to rule 15-1.4. It states........ a. Students may not attend a non-school sponsored clinic in a team sport, but may attend a non-school sponsored clinic in an individual sport (note: wrestling is considered an individual sport).b. If a clinic is conducted over more than 1 day, students will be limited to 3 hours of sports instruction or daily practice.c. a Clinic must be conducted during non-school time and no school practices or contests may be missed. Apart from answering the "legal" aspect of your question. Certain preferences come into play with various coaches. In fact, I know of a couple coaches who prefer their kids train absolutely nowhere else! And yes....that includes the off-season. While that wouldn't be the right fit for me personally.......I can tell you this. Those guys resume's speak for themselves. They've produced (or helped produce) multiple State Champs. I'd simply encourage you to hit all the angles with the current coach. Allow him to thoroughly explain himself to you in person. Not saying this is the case.....but I've found that in many cases the greatest problems between Coaches/Parents/Wrestlers come down to an overall lack of communication. Genuinely hope things work out positively for you & your son brother.

    Extra training Forbidden?

    Indiana's out of season rules are some of the most lax in the country. Michigan and Ohio specifically both have stricter off-season rules. Which one do you want because you can't have both? We aren't behind those states because of our in season training rule. We are behind them because of coaching and lack of teachers as coaches amongst other things.

  16. Used to live in Ohio, and my sons school had a couple kids qualify for state. So all of the kids that qualified went over to the other rival school in the conference including a couple of other teams and worked out together before the state tournament. Nobody was in the same weight class, but it was kind of fun and it worked. I guess a lot of kids would have been in trouble in Indiana.

    "Clash at the Creek" was a heck of a tournament! Watts is definitely top notch and a phenomenal young man. Excited to see what he accomplishes this season.

    Yeah that was the one that sticks out to me as well. A ton of guys with very solid careers. At the time it may not have been known how tough all the guys would be, since most were freshman and sophomores, but looking back there were a lot of placements between them all when it was said and done. Yeah he does, no quit in him. Last off season he actually had a win over Mills the exact same way. Was down 4 going into the third, got a mid-period takedown and then another late takedown to take it to overtime and picked up the win.

  20. There is definitely differing philosophies on this kind of thing. Some coaches have a specific style that could be hinder if your getting out side counter intuitive training. Have you discussed this with the coach? Gotten his reasoning? When we took over we let our kids leave the room in the off-seasom but only to attend approved camps and academy's to.avoid those counter intuitive issues. It sounds like only part of it is coming out.

  22. Just to be clear, what's his policy in season and out of season. Anyway as Jetwrestling mentioned, there are IHSAA restriction within season. Beware if your kid goes to train somewhere, and there's high school eligible kids he works with, this is considered a competition and would count as points against your kid. Maybe he's trying to protect your kid. If he restricts your kid out of season, then that's a problem.
