Difference between wrestling practice and training

You might be asking yourself if there is a difference between practice and training for wrestling. Although you might not think there is a difference, these two are not the same. During practice, the athlete might challenge a teammate or practice a specific move. They may practice that skill over and over until it is fully mastered. For strength training, the athlete will never step foot on the wrestling mat. It is about conditioning the muscles to increase strength and explosive ability. This translates to performance during competition.

Why wrestling training is important 

Some of the best wrestlers are not only advanced in their skills, they are extremely strong. We encourage our wrestlers to strength train to reduce injuries. Some of the most common injuries can be prevented with the right conditioning and training. If an athlete does happen to get an unavoided injury, it will be much easier for them to recover from if their body is prepared through conditioning. 

Specific wrestling athletic training 

It is important that the foundation of training starts with strength. During the first session at DiamondFit, each athlete will take a performance test. This will let our trainers know what level they are at and formulate the best program based on their skills. We welcome all skill levels. After the test, our team will match each athlete with a trainer who we think will best suit their schedule and goals. Together, we will be able to track performance, and our athletes can track their progress against our data driven goals.
