Wrestling is the oldest sport. It has survived the BlackPlague, WWI, SpanishFlu, WWII, GreatDepression and will survive this. Tough times require tough people, so I’m hopeful more kids will join wrestling as a pathway to build resilience. Wrestling is needed now more than ever!

So happy for Chloe in achieving AllAmerican status. She works her tail off and definitely earned her placement. A little backstory is before winning this match chloe was 0-3 in the round of 12 in other major tournaments. Great to punch this one through. #FARGO

All this talk about wrestlers taking a @NCAA 7th year is pissing me off. Kolodzik wrestled 3years plus four events and can’t get a 4th NCAA tournament? He is the epitome of STUDENT-Athlete as aerospace engineering major at the #1 academic university in the country. What a joke.

You once told me it was unfortunate I chose to coach at Princeton because we “just cant win an Ivy League or EIWA title without the support that you get at Cornell.” We won today and will win more. We have a trick or two up our sleeve.

Freestyle rule changes that I think would have a huge benefit on the sport. 1) after scoring a takedown a wrestler can immediately bring the action back to the feet (Stevenson rule) 2) no multiple turns with one lock-similar to folkstyle- hate seeing matches end with one lace

The most underestimated technique on bottom is a sit out IMO. But also a technique you have to be very confident in or you can get put directly to your back. Controlling the hands is the key to preventing tops attacks. Lose track of the hands and you can be in danger.

A fairly simple solution if someone attacks your wrist. BTW I feel armdrags are completely under utilized as a way to attack someone who grabs your wrist. Literally 0 risk and worst case is you get the guy off your wrist.

When things escalate in other sports and individuals really want to decide who is king, they choose wrestling to settle the score

It’s Rutgers week and I’m a bit surprised no media outlets have reached out to me for dumb predictions/quotes on the dual.

That damn foot block outside your knee preventing you from finishing your single? “Go down to get up” and you will score every time!

Stand up is Great! But it's best to be prepared if you dont get all the way to your feet. Here is a basic, knee slide to deal with counter. Positioning is key. Trap waist hand with elbow and attack top hand (wasnt sure I wanted to give that one away).
