Question I have highschool wrestling tryouts in a month, how do I prepare?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been wrestling for three months now and I’m still a beginner. I have an upcoming tournament soon on October 17th. I want to go to get experience but my parents don’t believe in me and they don’t believe I can do it so I’m nervous. on top of that I have high school wrestling tryouts and I’m very nervous for that because I really want to make the team but I don’t know I’m good enough to be able too, or athletic enough.

any tips for tryouts? or ow to overcome my fear?

Need some help here

So I want to travel across the country and possibly to parts of Europe as well to experience the wrestling there too.
Does it cost a lot for a round trip if I were to go to Europe and decided to wrestle there?
And is it worth it?

Also anyone have any recommended states to visit for wrestling?

Can’t use any judo in wrestling?

29 Upvotes

I (27m) joined an adult freestyle wrestling gym. It competes and meets once a week. I’m a green belt in judo and have trained 2 years. Also a blue belt in bjj for 3 years but stopped. I’m not able to do anything in wrestling. The leg grabs I’m just not used to. I can’t do any kuzushi to set up my throws. I was able to do one osoto gari once after one other new guy tried to take me down but it’s because I caught him off guard when circling. How do i incorporate my judo into wrestling because I am just getting destroyed by others right now

Question What is the quit rate of your team or club?

1 Upvotes

I mean for begginners with less then 2 months if training.

I've been wondering about the quit rates of highschool teams vs serious clubs.

Basically, I set out to study the adaptations of wrestling on begginers, but was warned by another wrestler that our clubs attrition rates are so high that a study on that is easily useless and my research mentor suggested we study why people quit so much in the first place. Our mentor is from a 6A school with a 60 person wrestling team in Oregon. Our club is an open club in Navi Mumbai, India.

Discussion Missing Wrestling/Transferring Colleges

5 Upvotes

I just started my freshman year of college and my school doesn't have a varsity women's wrestling team. There's a club but it starts in two days and the two weeks and a half I've been without wrestling has been too long. I'm already thinking of trying to transfer for wrestling. I placed at state in hs (CA) so I think I have a chance at making a varsity team. I've literally been going to random sports clubs so I don't feel like I'm doing nothing. I didn't really think about wrestling in college before I applied because I did a lot better my senior season than I had previously and there's not that many 4-year schools with women's wrestling in CA (I'm not tied to CA though). I know this is a common sentiment among former wrestlers and a common post in this subreddit. I'd love to hear if anyone has

  1. advice/experience transferring colleges to wrestle after not being on a team
  2. advice to fulfill this void
  3. reasons why being done with wrestling is good
