Trade Review

“The Wrestling Drill Book assists coaches from youth to college levels in developing championship wrestlers. It’s a must-read.

Bobby Douglas-- U.S. Olympic Coach (1992, 2004), NWCA Coach of the Year (2000), U.S. Freestyle World Team Head Coach (’89, ’91, ’02, ’03)

"To reach your potential as a wrestler, you must be willing to work hard in the off-season. The Wrestling Drill Book offers some great training activities to help you do this."

Whether for wrestling or for mixed martial arts, the second edition of The Wrestling Drill Book is the one resource that athletes need in order to learn how to grapple like a champion.
