Book Review: The Wrestling Drill Book (Bill Welker, Editor)
by Tom Elling - Pennsylvania Wrestling Website
www.pawrsl.com/pa/tebull.htm)

All wrestling coaches and school libraries will want this
instructional wrestling book added to their collections.

Bill Welker, a former Pennsylvania State Champion and more recently the head wrestling official in West Virginia, is the editor and he has enlisted a virtual Who's Who in the wrestling world to explain and illustrate (the book has hundreds of outstaning photos) the basics of wrestling and the most effective drills. Outstanding coaches and wrestlers such as Ed Peery, Craig Turnbull, Pat Pecora, and others give it to you straight, benefitting coaches at all levels. It breaks down drills for movement , Takedowns, Escapes and Reversals, Riding to Pinning, Advanced Pinning, Conditioning, and methods for running Effective Practices.

For the new coach looking for direction to those who just need a refresher or something different to add to their lesson plans, this book is one you must have.

Bobby Douglas, the highly-successful wrestler and recent head coach at Iowa State, provides a very comprehensive foreword. If someone as successful as Mr. Douglas recommends the book, then you know it has substance.

I, too, rate this book at a must-have.
