Dr. Bill Welker has put together a great resource in "The Wrestling Drill Book." This would be the perfect gift for any rookie coach, and a valued resource for coaches of any experience level. Any coach or wrestler will find drills and suggestions in this book that they will benefit from. The sequential photos and sequence of "Setup," "Action," and "Coaching Point" makes it a practical and easy to follow tool.

My son is in his 3rd year of wrestling, and my husband helps coach him and some other boys in the program (they are part of AAU youth wrestling). They both have gotten a lot out of this book that neither one really "got" at practice. There have been a lot of "oh...so that's why that move hasn't worked for me" stuff like that. Great book, glad we got it.

The book fundamentally teaches the science of "memorization," physical memorization of move development in the mat sport. One hall of fame coach put it bluntly, "If I have to yell at you what to do, it's probably too late. A wrestler must react to situations, not think and then react. The Wrestling Drill Book stresses this doctrine, along with the importance of 'hip position' in all areas of the sport." I, as the editor and author, was very fortunate to secure the expertise of some of the finest "drill work" technicians in the country, with many, many years of coaching success to back their methods of training. Chapter 7 demonstrates how to incorporate "drill work" into the daily wrestling practice format, and much more. The final segment of the chapter gives the astute coach and dedicated wrestler a solid framework for off-season activities that will complete their development into championship wrestlers. Finally, I want to share with all wrestling enthusiasts [...]
