Coaching Youth Wrestling

This book, now expanded has guidelines for all wrestling coaches and can assist in charting daily drills and learning the signals and the various holds. It also aides coaches into teaching fairplay and sportsmanship amongst young wrestlers, which is important in their daily lives. A great and informative read.

This book is a little marvel.I got it as I am coaching a group of adult beginners...and it's really helpful....my wrestlers are slow to learn moves and not too agile, so the slow/kids approach is perfect. A bit disconcerting, all the photos of mere kids doing the moves...but that's to be expected as it's originally a teach-kids book. But it's really much more than that. It can serve as a premier at any level. The explanataions are very clear and can usefully be adapted..so often it's difficult to put into words information about moves, stances etc. This little marvel does it very well. 10 out of 10

Loved this book, it was very helpful to a parent who was new to wrestling.

This book is GREAT for PARENTS to read, who have little exposure to wrestlings, its rules, and the pros and cons it can present to wrestling athletes. Though I wrestled in High School, many years ago, some of the rules and philosophies have changed. For new coaches, former wrestlers, or those returning to coaching, this book would be a great refresher. For experienced coaches, the book may be below their current knowledge level. FOR PARENTS, NEW WRESTLERS, AND NEW COACHES the book however, wouldd be great reading.

This book gave excellent tips, ideas to keep practice moving.
