With the season over, and with time to practice and learn, father and son developed a plan for improvement. We went on-line and bought three books on wrestling and three videotapes. We bought everything we could of Dan Gable, arguably the world’s all-time best wrestler and coach. He won the 1972 Olympic Gold medal without having a point scored against him, and led the Iowa Hawkeye’s to numerous NCAA championships. As I read his books I was astounded by how many principles he taught his teams that are exactly the same principles we teach our team. I understand to get information from the correct source and I listen to people with the results. Jordan and I three times a week would watch those videos and review his books. We also invested money in a small wrestling mat that would make it easier to learn our moves. Over and over we practiced what we learned. We invited Jordan’s friends over to show them what he was learning, and with time, Jordan began to look like he had wrestled for years. One of his friends even signed up for wrestling because of the fun he was having learning the moves. I couldn’t wait to see how Jordan’s coach reacted to his improvement.
