I'm going to be a junior next year in HS wrestling and would like some feedback. This is after a long lay off from any type of grappling. I've focused most of the offseason to lifting and will ramp up wrestling this summer.
I was ultra stiff in these matches. I didn't finish one shot and mostly used my strength to out muscle my opponents. This is probably due to not wrestling in a while but I did do heavy 5x3 squats the day prior. I also went in with the mindset of getting over and underhooks and working high crotches and firemans from those positions. While I did tie up a bit I was really poor with head positioning, wasn't low enough in my stance, and too conservative. Looking back I had plenty of opportunities to snap the head and double.
I'm strong on bottom and top, but on top I mostly work arm bar tilts and chicken wings. I'm sure I could've worked a pin in each of these matches had I tried to work other moves.
I'm in the black singlet.
