#wrestlingwednesday - the best drill on the planet to get you stronger and more effective in your shot finishing capabilities. We did this drill almost every single day of my 5 years at mizzouwrestling
-
Anyone can finish a shot when it’s a perfect, smooth transition with very little defense from your opponent. But in order to be successful at a high level, you have to be effective in the bad positions and be able to get yourself into good position to win the takedown.
-
You don’t WIN A MATCH...you win a series of SMALL POSITIONS inside of a match that add up to points being scored that WIN YOU THE MATCH.
-
The step, slide drill builds body mechanics, body awareness and strength in a position we all get caught in: opponent sprawls and we are in bad position on a shot.
-
The drill: partner pulls his leg back 3 times, each time you’re stepping and sliding your hips into “goal position” which is head up, chest up, hips in.
-
On the third rep, we go deep with the outside arm, get to your feet and run through him.
-
The outside arm deep is the KEY...if you can control his hips, you can control his body. This outside arm deep cinch should be thought of like a tight waist on top. Squeeze that leg with all you strength and control his hips which takes away his ability to square up and defend.
-
Basics win.
-
Keep it simple.
-
Drill it 10,000 times or until it’s engrained in your DNA.
-
Keep wrestling.
-
See you at the top!
