Just look at our track relay teams! Our most successful performer in wrestling was a young man who has been working out at the same venue, for at least 2 or 3 years, under basically the same coaches who were in his corner at the games. Most of the other wrestlers had to start listening to different coaches, different strategies,different workout protocols, very late in the game. I'm not making excuses for them, but try to put yourself in that position. In which scenario would you perform better?
