I was over at the high school today for a local little kids wrestling camp and I thought that with Fargo Junior and Cadet Nationals just around the corner and then not a lot of youth wrestling happening until late fall, it would be a good idea to blog about off season training.
What are you doing this summer that will make you a winter champion?
I’m reminded of an old wrestling t-shirt that said, “Summer Camps make Winter Champs.”
It was true when the shirt was first made 30 years ago and it is true today. You need to be doing something this summer in order to be competative next wrestling season.
Are you cross-training, weight training, eating right? You should be.
Here’s a video blog about some of the things we recommend.
By registering for the WOWY gym through the Wrestling Training Media Link you will be automatically plugged in to our community and you will see what workouts my wrestlers and I are doing in the off season, you can workout with us doing the same thing, or you can do other workouts and still work out with us for the community support.
The best part is that you and your wrestlers can do the workouts from your house, hotel room, camping trip or at the high school. It allows for a lot of flexibility which is nice during the summer.
So here’s how you use the WOWY Gym with your wrestlers and parents.
Today I was able to work out for the first time since I broke my heel and had surgery. It has been nearly 2 months.
It was a great workout. Amy joined me. It was her first time working out since the little baby came to be.
We started back on the p90x workout. I love this workout because it is pretty and functional strength. By that I mean you look good but you don’t just look good. You can actually use the strength you gain. It’s what I call functional strength. Tony Horton and the Beach Body Team really know their stuff when it comes to fitness, health, strength training and weight loss.

What Others Are Saying About Our Products
"In “Coaching Young Couch Potatoes,” Michael Clapier teaches coaches what I call Primary Greatness (character/values) as opposed to the traditional Secondary Greatness (winning is everything) as an effective way to mentor young athletes.
I have always believed that winning is only one of many goals set by a wise coach to develop a balanced young man or woman. How valuable it would be if coaches nurtured, inspired vision, and instilled character development into young athletes so they could apply these lessons not only in sports but to life’s experiences."

“I have owned the Championship Access discs for three years and I have to tell you, they work. My kids connect with them and we have been able to help our new coaches clearly understand what we are teaching through every level of our program.”

"Every kid in our program loves technology and my biggest problem is keeping the discs in my bag. They borrow them all the time. They are great!"
