Training Update

Training update for the National School-Age championships in October.

Everything is going pretty well, and we are working very closely to my overall plan. As of this week (mid September), we have 2 more weeks of conditioning left before tapering off for competition.

Technically, I still think that we are too light on defence. Defending against attacks starts with having a really aggressive attitude where you must push yourself to work harder than the attacker. Too often, wrestlers are still looking for quick go-behinds or reversals against their opponent's attacks.

Our sparring has become very focussed and quite competitive. 3 minutes is now the norm for each round.
