first wrestling match

[Frank EP]

dont shoot to shoot, shoot to score.

and remember wrestling is a physical sport, dont hold back because you are scared that you might hurt the guy.

There's no secret to being a good wrestler. It takes hard work. If you put in more time on the mat, and you're in better condition than the other guy, you'll do fine. You don't have to get mad, or "crazy". Set the pace, set up your take downs and execute smoothly. If you end up on your back, you'll never be there longer than 2 minutes, so fight like your life depends on it. IF you're getting railed by a guy who's technically better, stay in the match, he might gas and make a mistake.

Summary:
1) Leave no doubt in your mind that you have worked harder than your opponent.
2) Set up and execute
3) If you win, act like it ain't the first time.
4) If you loose, shake his hand and walk off the mat. If you throw a fit, you'll cost your team a point and your coach will make you hurt.
5) Have fun

be the aggressor. be offensive on your feet, but don't get cocky; stay low at all times. Short, quick steps when you tie up.

Just relax. If its your first tournament, nobody is expecting you to dominate. You really don't have anything to lose, so just go out there and wrestle your ass off. If you can go in and wrestle your first match as hard as you can the whole way through, win or lose, you know your ready for wrestling season.
