Just a thought
I’m confused a little. I know when I was wrestling, not only did I want to be the best at the dual but I wanted to be best in the room. I wasn’t but it wasn’t because of effort it was because I started late and didn’t have the offense others had. If you wanted to take me down though you were going to have to work hard and I was going to fight you with everything I had! The point I’m trying to make is when you have Henson in the room I’m going to emulate as much of him as I can! When he’s riding if you base up he’s pushing your elbows forward and if by chance they can get them back up he yanks them backwards and breaks you back down and then repeats by pushing them forward and so on. Then spiral ride, then lift and mat return, then looking to turn you! Neutral he’s after legs, slide bys, shucks, ankle picks, snap downs over and over! Bottom he explodes fights hands and out, rolls out etc. All that to say this How are others in the room not trying to copy what they feel and see? I always looked to the best and if he ran for 12 minutes I didn’t want to quit till after he did and If we’re doing Td’s and up I wanted to do more than he did even if they can’t you should be trying to push yourself to copy his limits to increase yours! I was not on this level and I can see what he does why can’t others in the room?? You have an example of how to wrestle and how to condition in the room even without the coaches….. follow it!!! Go Hokies!
