Five summer training principles

This is the week that we really see what it takes to be the best in the country. The Junior and Cadet Nationals in Fargo are running full force now and you can see the power of summer wrestling. Almost every college coach in the country will be there and they will be taking notes looking at what prospects will meet their future needs.
If you ever want to wrestle in college this one tournament can get you a huge amount of exposure!
With that here are 5 important tips for summer training.
1. Do something - Running is better then just watching TV, running and lifting is even better, wrestling in local tournaments is better then not putting on your wrestling shoes for months. The key here is that you have to do something. You may not be able to go to Fargo but that doesn't mean you should do nothing.
2. Find the best coaching - Get into the rooms of the best wrestling coaches you can find. More then likely they are willing to help you so take advantage of it.
3. Camps are great but only if you bring what you learn back into your room and use it!
4. Don't just go through the motions - Be intense and work hard!
5. Hydrate - It is hot out there! Drink water to stay sharp.
OK Get out there and get at it!

I will update a few more times this week, now that we have a break from camp I will have some more free time!
