Anxiety and Perfectionism in Wrestlers

Drills

Stance & Motion: John Smith - Feet a little outside your shoulders (at all times; forward & sideways) - Head stays level - Elbows stay in the pocket - Short Steps - Teach Stance & Motion without a partner first. Learn positioning first - Do not reach or come over the top (that is not a tie-up)
