Hi Cary, I'm a Dad who had this problem a few years ago with my son when he was starting. I realized I was placing too much pressure on him to win. I did exactly what you recommended. We focused on offensive goals only. It was a game changer. When we started focusing on the process, the outcome took care of itself.

[@KOLATCOM]

SystemEquation Glad I could help him out! Best of luck to you all.

[@Alexthegrape26]

Cary thanks for your videos. I finished my first year of wrestling and I've been applying lots of your knowledge to my jiu jitsu game. I'm inproving in a lot of my grappling game and just wanted to take some time to thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Glad you like them!

[@vpoon4549]

I have sectionals in a few days, I was nervous this whole week about placing but this video is helping me not worry about it and im just going to try to reach the goal I made for my first 3 matches which is getting 7 takedowns, 5 escapes and don't give up any back points. So thanks a lot Cary

[@KOLATCOM]

That's exactly how you should approach every match every time with some goal you are reaching for.

[@golieman33]

im in 8th grade going into high school next year and this is my first year wrestling. this year i wrestled up to 185 because thats where my coach put me. next year when i get to high school i probably will be wrestling at 85 again but that will be my actual weight. is it going to be easier to wrestle people my same weight? and great video.

[@jasonth20]

Great video, you should do more blogs. Also, I wouldn't mind more inside single finishes.

[@KOLATCOM]

Sure but you need to provide me with questions and I will try and make it happen. We have more inside single finishes but it's located on Kolat.com we only release about 1 video a week from a variety of areas.

[@STUIPEDCHICKEN]

Hey Cary, i have only just finished my first season as a freshman and have begun my off season about 2 weeks ago. I really appreciate your videos and was wondering if you had any drills or something I could do on my off time to keep up on my setups. I will be doing wresting camps over this summer and am doing judo/bjj

[@TuffCookie2184]

Hello Cary I am a 7th grade wrestler I have been wrestling two years I am sitting at 115 I was undeafted this year but last year I three times and I live in Indiana and I'm wondering how can I be more aggressive I do set goals I say well this kid scored 3 points so I'm going to only let the next kid score 2. I also wonder if you can show leg rides because mine are weak and my coaches do not teach legs

[@lennybri8521]

Hey Cary, im currently a sophomore in highschool and wrestle 126, my dream is to win Texas uil state championships and make my family si proud, I would do anything it took, do you have any kind of summer wrestling camps, if so how much do they cost, thanks, Lenny

[@Noah3267]

Could you please teach the superduck

[@sashareiger7818]

So Im a wrestler and I see when I lose it's because the other guys are a lot quicker than me so im wondering how i can get quicker on my feet

[@scottwalker7390]

first.thank you for every video you put out there.you are making huge impacts on many peoples game..my 8th grade daughter is a multiple time girls state champ in Ohio.she does more than hold her own against any boy she faces too..she is at that point where no one near her weight at her school can touch her..we have to travel to nearby schools for competition ..nearing state tourneys its hard to stay focused since she gets less mat time and nobody wants to wrestle her at her school.tired of holding back on lesser wrestler.she is a female with type 1 diabetes so everyday a battle within itself..she watches a TON of your videos and always wants to learn.but mentally its tough when she learns stuff and has nobody to try new moves on.any advice on how to stay strong when your hated for being good? sorry , know that's alot of info..she just wants to win and its tough without proper training partners and mat time.

[@KOLATCOM]

Scott, I'm glad you enjoy the videos! If she is in 8th grade you should look to get her moving into a freestyle direction and hook up with Terry Steiner at USA Wrestling.

[@Bubther]

Can you make a video showing how to do the hammerlock please.

[@KOLATCOM]

You would have to give me more detail on what you are looking for. Hammerlock sounds like pro wrestling.

[@damaralexander1982]

[@tommypickles211]

[@damaralexander1982]

[@ps3acr]

Cary, honest question here. So I finished my High school wrestling career around 3 years ago And i had only started wrestling my last two years of high school. Thinking i would not get the chance to compete again, i took 3 years of and decided to go to Community college. Now i find my self attending a university with a club team. I have been practicing with the team for a couple months now and the season is coming to an end. I didn't get a chance to compete knowing i am out of shape and nearly not as good as i was when i was in high school. It's very discouraging knowing I have forgotten many of the fundamental moves of wrestling. I only remember a limited number of set ups, break downs, and take downs. I seem to loose every position in practice and just can't remember the proper Technique alot of the times. I should have about 2 years left here at my university so I'm looking forward to 2 more seasons. Any suggestions on how i can improve every aspect of my wrestling. Thanks Cary, love your Videos.

[@KOLATCOM]

I would follow along here you lack skill with limited years. If you are training on a regular basis and have a plan to work through you will begin to see results: kolat.com/blog/kolat-com-4-6-year-teaching-curriculum-for-new-to-novice-wrestlers-by-cary-kolat Good luck!

[@SuperSneakySteve]

Cary, did you forget to pay your electric bill? Why not turn a light on?

[@KOLATCOM]

Haha, well my computer sits in a room that if I turn the light on my wife is going to get mad. Trying to do it during the day then you are gonna have a bunch of little kids screaming and running around in the background. I will try and fix the lighting.
