Why Football Players should Wrestle in high school and youth

15/10/2019

The Football and Wrestling Connection
Wrestling CAN and WILL make you a better football player. The mental and physical skills you develop in wrestling will make you a better player on the field.

Crossover Skills
Many of the positions and skills are transferable between both sports. Some of those skills include but are not limited to footwork, hand-eye coordination, mental toughness, explosive movements, balance, agility, quickness, upper body strength, and stamina.
Wrestling teaches “self-reliance” – the ability to make things happen without expecting help from others.
Wrestling pits opponents based on weight.
A lineman gets offseason experience going head-to-head with others his size. A lighter weight player gains experience without the obstacle of facing much larger opponents.

Learning how to beat the man in front of you is an ability you cannot ignore!

Influence of Wrestling in the NFL
There are 32 teams in the NFL and of those players there are over 185 of them that have a wrestling background.
10 Hall of Famers / 43 Multiple Pro-Bowlers
13 NCAA Wrestling Championships / 60 Individual State Championships
3 Heisman Trophy Winners / 14 First Round Draft Picks
23 RB’s / 20 LB’s / 2 QB’s / 66 Linemen / 6 DB’s / 1 K / 54 non-position
Over 11% of the NFL has a wrestling background
Ray Lewis and Stephan Neal are just two of them on that list.

Quotable
“I draft wrestlers because they are tough. I have never had a problem with a wrestler.” – Joe Gibbs, Hall of Fame Football Coach
“I would have all of my Offensive Linemen wrestle if I could.” – John Madden, Hall of Fame Football Coach
“I love wrestlers, they are tough and they make great football players.” – Mike Stoops, National Championship Football Coach, University of Oklahoma
“Wrestlers make coaching football easy, they have balance, coordination, and as a coaching staff we know they are tough.” – Tom Osborne, College Hall of Fame Football Coach, University of Nebraska

Football never made a wrestler a better wrestler, BUT Wrestling made every football player a better football player!!!

Practice Begins: Nov. 18th
First Meet : Dec. 13th
