Summer 2012

 

 

 

 

WHY RESIDENT TRAINING DIFFERENT FROM CAMP? Resident Training is more comprehensive, covers additional topics and training that makes a wrestler more competitive on many levels. Often camps progress a wrestler in one specific area but can not compensate in other areas that are needed to be a viable competitive wrestler such as nutrition, academic preparedness, targeted training toward areas of need in their body work.

WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE IS IN RESIDENT TRAINING AT THE SAME TIME A CLINICIAN CAMP IS OCCURRING? Wrestlers who are at Wrestling Prep at the same time as a Camp will participate in the camp as well as doing additional training. The cost of participation in the camp is covered in the Resident Training Fee (with the exception of Mike Krause camp which is additional cost). All of the camps occurring at Wrestling Prep are created to encompass one part of the mat space (5000 sq ft of mat space) and specific time frames with allow the resident athletes to participate in their structured and scheduled training.

WHAT DOES OUR WRESTLER NEED TO BRING? Sleeping bag and pillow (if flying in we can provide or buy one when they arrive) bathing suit, two to three days worth of gear (we have washer and dryer on site), sweat shirt and sweat pants, toothbrush and other toiletries, phone chargers and electronic accessories. There are four showers in the wrestling facilities and WP provides towels for all wrestlers daily.

HOW DO WE REGISTER? You can register you wrestler in a variety of ways. To pay online go to PAY ON LINE and send an email to carolyn@wrestlingprep.com with the Resident Training weeks your wrestler wants to participate in along with date of birth, weight, home address, shirt size and best contact information. You can also mail a check payable to Carolyn Wester to 5586 Civic Terrace Ave, Newark, CA 94560 (business address – not facility address) and include the Resident Training weeks your wrestler wants to participate in along with date of birth, weight, home address, shirt size and best contact information. When emailing or mailing a check please include the following form Summer 2012 Order Form-vs 5 Or call Carolyn directly at 650 245-3533 and register over the phone.

HOW DO WE FIGURE OUT WHAT WEEKS WORK BEST FOR OUR WRESTLER? The best way to achieve this is to call Carolyn directly on 650 245-3533. She can go over in detail the options and schedule for each week and you can work together to ascertain what is in your wrestlers best interest. If you prefer to work by email please email Carolyn at carolyn@wrestlingprep.com.

WHERE DO THEY STAY OVERNIGHT? Depending on the number of athletes in the resident training program per week, they either sleep over night at the Wrestling Prep Facility where we throw down sleeping bags on the mats or they stay in Carolyn Wester’s home.

HOW DO THEY EAT? The Wrestling Prep facility has multiple refrigerators, freezer, microwaves, mini ovens, ice maker, BBQ grill and feed the athletes at the facility. We feed them three to five times a day. Please note that we do not serve junk food and often wrestlers want to purchase snacks and such when there is opportunity. However, we do not provide money for the athletes to buy snacks so your wrestler will need to bring additional money with them to do so.

HOW DOES RESIDENT TRAINING WORK? The athletes normally participate in three structured and scheduled work outs a day that each vary. One will be around body positioning and leverage. Very focussed, quite hard and traditionally very different from any training they have done previously. A second will be technique driven based upon the characteristics and patterns the resident athletes have in their wrestling. Because so many of the resident wrestlers are very accomplished, we focus not on re-creating their wrestling but adding on and enhancing. For the newer wrestler, they benefit here by actually learning the technique for the first time and learn the enhancements. The third is usually live wrestling, competition strategies and live situations. In addition to these three, the resident athletes have one on one coaching and participate in informational sessions about college prep, academic readiness and nutrition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The encompassing philosophy of the Wrestling Prep Camp Program is to provide effective instruction that fits individual wrestlers’ needs in an environment and by instructors who repeatedly coach at the facility. Whether it be annually, two to four times a year or every month, any wrestler who receives instruction through a camp at Wrestling Prep has ample opportunity to receive repetitive training and review from the original clinician or others familiar on what they have learned while adding new technique to the catalogue they already have.

 

The winning wrestler is not always the one who knows the most but the one who does what they do the best. This is a philosophy we incorporate into the Camps program – we want them to become the best at what they know while teaching them add on progressive and effective new technique.

 

We provide Summer Instructions in two basic formats, Resident Training and Camps/ Mini Camps. This summer we are holding Five Wrestling Prep Camps. Two of these are week long with both overnight and commuter options and three of these are weekend camps with both overnight and commuter options.

 

In the summer of 2012 over 300 wrestlers received instruction in the Wrestling Prep Camps/ Mini Camps or Resident Training Formats.

We are VERY happy to Announce the 2012 Match Mornings & Match Nights schedule through August 2012. (more for september & october coming later).

 

Match Nights & Match Mornings is one of the most effective ways to obtain between 5 and 12  high quality matches in a short amount of time (usually 2 to 3 hours) at no or minimal costs.

 

In addition, if a wrestler is pinned or tech’d prior to end of 6 minute match – the wrestlers reset and continue the full 6 minutes. There is no elimination or pairing based upon results prior or at match morning. It is the best event possible to guarantee mat time.

 

In 2011, we had MANY SUCCESSFUL events as chronicled in the below pictures and videos.

 

Many coaches have asked us for this schedule and we anticipate having as strong of attendance as last year. In addition, if you have an interest in bringing an entire time and participating in camps or clinics or trainings the day before or the day after Match Mornings & Match Nights we are happy to do so. Also, we have mat space for teams to sleep over if they give us a heads up and bring sleeping bags & pillows.

This year we have a long list of Guest Clinicians & Counselors along with Mat & Body Awareness / Positioning Training available. Please do not rely on the Wrestling Prep published schedules as the final word on what is available. Please contact Carolyn directly on 650 245-3533 or carolyn@wrestlingprep.com.
