We teach our kids to score points and keep scoring points. The magic number used to be 7 to have a good chance at winning, but with the new scoring system you really need to be getting 8-10 to win the majority of your matches. Unless you're AJ Ferrari bro. And you probably aren't. This data is based on every D1 match wrestled so far this season.

@GlobalWresOrder Rank these for me 1. Family 2. Friends 3. Who you are as a person 4. Your impact on your community 5. Wrestling 6. Being a great family man Idk what fills your life “bucket” so to speak. But wrestling is a small fraction of what brings me joy in life. - active D3 wrestler

There’s a lot of truth to this. After 4 (or 5+) years of competing in Folkstyle gimmick - there’s a high percentage of wrestlers who DON’T even want to embark on a senior level career. It’s a real problem. Take Meyer Goat for example. Everyone is shocked he is opting in and taking a redshirt, because as fans we just assume everyone wants to wrestle Folkstyle for half a decade. That’s not these guys reality. People like Carter Starocci are one of a kind.

Every time 🇺🇸 produces a great wrestler I actually want to see succeed, he retires too soon There can be no truly great wrestlers in the land of cardio merchants The toll of NCAAs and those 36-mat, 16-match tournaments is just too much for any talented kid

@JustinJBasch I forgot, the over under needs to be a non integer. Let’s go with 4.5.

If we abolish Greco Roman gimmick - will that allow Freestyle to go 10 weights at the Olympic Games? 🤔

My advice is to test youth/HS sports as the final product, not a minor league for college/pro. Work hard to succeed within that level for its own sake. Push it as a pipeline and you suck the fun out of it, and lose most of the lessons sports are supposed to teach. If a kid’s talented and driven enough to go further, it’ll happen on its own. Forcing it isn’t worth the cost.
Johnni DiJulius@johnnidijulius

This is one of the worst takes regarding youth sports. Youth sports is a simulation for real world hardships in a controlled environment. They are a super power. The best thing about kids is they haven’t learned what they can’t do yet. The world hasn’t stolen their day dreams.

@GlobalWresOrder 1. I think it was the correct call. It was close but I think they got it right. 2. I like the limitation on bricks. Even if it means getting things wrong occasionally, I prefer they keep things moving.

There’s really no need for a third voice, but if you are going to have a third voice then I’d really like it to be a high level technician that speaks less often but goes into technical detail. Imagine replacing Juliana with Sarah Hildebrandt, Helen Mouroulas, or Adeline Gray. I’ve heard them all on the mic and they are all good.

@MatSavant I've been begging for her to be replaced since the "is he having a heart attack" incident. To be fair, last night was probably her best performance. But that's a very low bar.

I’m not trying to hate, but I think it’s time to replace Juliana. It’s ok that she’s not a wrestler herself, but it’s been a year she still doesn’t seem to know the rules.

@rayzingler As a wrestling coach, when a new kid steps on to the mat I can tell within 30 seconds whether they grew up with an active parent, or if they were sitting on an iPad.

There is but one type of human who will knock you for physically preparing a child. And that is a weak man. A sheer and utter detriment to society. Raise kids to be capable. You owe it to them. Hammers Only. zinglerstrength.com/purchase-young…

I don’t think it does. The way I teach it, surrendering the outcome means you accept the result for what it is, it doesn’t mean you don’t care about the result. Winning a big match means the training is working, and that’s worth celebrating. Losing a big match means you still have work to do, and that’s ok too.

@johnnidijulius Love it, but does this create a slight disconnect in the “surrender the outcome” mindset? Can we also encourage kids to celebrate hard for executing a great technique inside the match, or just outcomes?

If I ever start a kids club for wrestling, it’s gonna be mandatory celebrations if they win. I want every single “act like you’ve been there” old head who hates kids having fun to be pissed off at my wrestling team.

Damn… two thoughts… Paddy Pimblett is a killer. 52 seconds. His grappling is seriously underrated. I was looking forward to this fight almost as much as the main event. Can’t help but feel cheated as a fan. 😂 This was the wrestling equivalent of a quick single straight into a leg lace.

@DennisB1972 @JustinJBasch Yeah that was a high pace for heavyweights so I wouldn’t be too concerned for that. My biggest concern is his defensive gaps but if he’s working with Jackson and Jon Jones, they’ll definitely clean that up.
