Practice Session Overview

• Warm-up: The practice typically starts with a warm-up, which includes stretching, running, or other cardio exercises to get the blood flowing and prepare the body for upcoming drills and exercises. • Technique drills: The coach will demonstrate and teach specific techniques, such as takedowns, throws, and pins. Wrestlers will then practice these techniques with a partner, focusing on form, technique, and execution. • Live wrestling: The practice will usually include live wrestling, where wrestlers will apply the techniques they've learned in a simulated match setting. This allows wrestlers to practice their skills against a live, resisting opponent and helps them develop their timing, strategy, and mat awareness. • Strength and conditioning: Wrestling is a physically demanding sport, so most practices will include some form of strength and conditioning exercises. This may consist of weight training, bodyweight exercises, or drills designed to improve explosiveness, endurance, and power. • Cool-down: At the end of the practice, wrestlers will typically cool down with static stretching and recovery exercises to reduce soreness and improve flexibility.
