Indianawrestler145 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Okay coaches, please let me know your opinions on this. Do you allow your wrestlers to listen to music while they are warming up for a match? Yes or no? if no then why? I heard a story about a coach forbidding his wrestlers from having headphones while prepping for a match. the way I look at it is that music could be apart of a special pre match routine that makes the wrestler comfortable. I feel a wrestler should have total control over their pre match routine. You thought? BrodyHardcastle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornet Coach Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think it also depends on the state of your program and how long your athletes have been wrestling. Some inexperienced wrestlers simply don't know how to get themselves truly ready for a match because they haven't been around the sport long. In this case, you would need to control every aspect of their warm up until they find something that works for them. If they have been around the sport, they likely know what works for them.

But if you control every aspect of their warm up then how do they ever find what works for them? Maybe give them some guidelines or ideas. But total control over pre match warm up is a recipe for inconsistency on the mat. IU89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosgrove Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Shadow wrestle but get your ass kicked by your own shadow. Get headlocked, double legged, snapped down and cradled. It's a good warm up to get your ass kicked. Edited December 11, 2020 by Cosgrove Wrestlingfan937 and busstogate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say to not control what a kid listens to or what they do before a match. The I read what you said and completely agree. It is easy to think that they should know what to do before a match but their is a lot of kids that did not grow up in the sport and are just starting to wrestle in high school that need guidance.
