6 Minutes
of Focus and Intensity
|
How long is 6 minutes? well if your not prepared both mentally and physically it can be an eternity. The way you learn to stay focused and intense throughout your match is to practice being intense. It’s
harder to stay focused in a match because there’s more pressure on you
like worrying about losing, the guy is mean, he keeps coming after you,
or the biggest enemy of all fatigue. All of these things affect your
mental state thus causing you to lose focus and ultimately the match.
You can prepare yourself mentally but that happens in the practice room
and in your everyday life style. Are you mentally disciplined and if not
do you want to be, because if you do not practice it in your everyday
life it won’t happen on the mat. |
When
a coach shows you a move or drill, practice only that move not something
you have invented that works better “okay Einstein”. Practice the
move the way we show it, after time you may develop a little
variation of the move that works better for you, but that happens after
practice during free wrestling time not during a coach’s instruction
time.
Once
you start maintaining focus and intensity for a whole practice, day
after day, then you will be able to maintain it through a tough, intense
6-minute match. |
REPETITION:
How many reps does it take? Remember "Quality over Quantity". 500
-
becoming good at the move 1000
to 2000 - beating state quality wrestlers with the move |
