Book Reviews of Coaching Wrestling Successfully (Coaching Successfully Series)

Book Review: The most important points of coaching are here.
Summary: 5 Stars

Many wrestlers and coaches may base their reviews of a coaching book on the quantity or quality of moves found within. I do believe that the book does well in this area. However, its true success is in its discussion and advice on communication, motivation, planning and developing a philosophy. It is what separates it from other "how to wrestle" books. It is a book for coaches. The basics are the most important part of wrestling, not any special tricks or throws. The edge over other teams is found in the little extras a coach can do to make sure his wrestlers are motivated to learn and to win. This book is exactly what I was looking for. I purchased this book just after the 1998-99 season, my fourth as a head high school coach. My credentials include winning Conference Titles in each of those years, coaching the first Team State qualifier from the conference in '98 and '99 and earning various state coaching awards. I am pleased I have done some of the things Gable suggests, but I believe this book can make things even better next season. Also, I haven't ever been any kind of Dan Gable die-hard, although now I understand why people are.

Summary of Coaching Wrestling Successfully (Coaching Successfully Series)

Dan Gable redefined the term wrestling champion,
setting a new standard of excellence for athletes and coaches. Defeated only once throughout his high school and college wrestling careers and unscored upon in his 1972 Olympic gold medal performance, Gable didn't just win on the mat, he dominated his opponents in a relentless, physical style.

Gable brought that same competitive toughness and determination to mastering coaching-and the championships came, year after year. In the 21 seasons he was head coach, his University of Iowa teams won 15 national championships and 21 Big Ten championships.

Now, in Coaching Wrestling Successfully, Gable presents the blueprint to becoming a wrestling champion. He covers every facet of his formula for success-a guiding philosophy, proven motivational tools, guidelines for proper nutrition and weight control, daily and year-round practice plans, effective instructional methods, correct wrestling technique, and winning match strategies.

Coaches will find fascinating Gable's formula for success and anecdotes involving his handling of teams and individuals. Athletes will benefit from the folkstyle, freestyle, and Greco-Roman moves and drills. Wrestling fans will enjoy the stories involving Gable and many of the greatest names in the sport. And every reader will marvel at how the master of motivation pushed himself and his wrestlers beyond their perceived potential.

Gable made sure that Coaching Wrestling Successfully achieved the same standard of excellence that he demanded of himself as a wrestler and a coach. The result is a championship effort, full of lessons from the legend, from cover to cover.
