Our kids club doesn't teach headlocks. Just defense, like rolling through. The big focus is on fundamentals and development for the future. Too easy, and once that's all you have because of the success with it, it's hard to learn other takedowns. Well said Doug and Craig. Too much emphasis on medals, trophies when young. Build a wrestler for the future. Build them in a sustainable way, so as not to be burned out by middle school or high school. They will lose. Losses build character. Learn from losses. They may or may not bring home hardware. But support and encourage the young ones as they are the future of this great sport. Marathon, not a sprint. Prefect analogy.
