I know that I was fortunate when it came to wrestling. I didn’t get to choose where I was born, but I grew up in one of the best wrestling communities in the state of Iowa where Dan Mashek (he was also a former HS teammate of Dan Gable) was coaching at the time.
The house I grew up in was less than 20 miles from where Dan Gable grew up.
I was fortunate enough to wrestle under Dan Gable at Iowa and then went on to coach high school wrestling, and had the opportunity to coach under another Iowa NCAA champ and very successful high school coach and current Iowa State Head Coach, Kevin Dresser for the first six years of coaching.
When I look back at all of those experiences. I see structured systems everywhere!
From recruiting athletes, fundraising, teaching skills, strength & conditioning etc. I always hated wasting time in the practice room so I was a meticulous planner and documenter.
Watch the perennial powerhouse sports team and you typically know what they are going to do or what to expect. But they are so proficient at these same techniques and strategies that they are hard to stop…
This is due to systems being taught in these programs.
Not a bunch of random strategies being used.
That is why I developed my Ultimate Wrestling System and I break down the high level of it in this video.
I learned them from literally the best coaches in history and tailored them for youth and high school wrestlers. If you want to learn more about the systems I used to coach visit my website at https://www.attackstylewrestling.com/
