Wrestle Nation
For the last six weeks my 5 and 7 year old boys have participated in a youth wrestling clinic in Tampa Palms called Wrestle Nation. It is run by Rich Helm who brings 20 years experience coaching thousands of youth wrestlers. There is an emphasis on sportsmanship, technique and conditioning.
Besides conditioning, wrestling helps develop strength, body awareness and personal discipline. Along with wrestling technique, the kids participate in conditioning drills, relays, pushup contests, etc. As a fitness pro, if I were going to put together a group training session for youths it would have a similar feel to the conditioning aspects of Wrestle Nation. On top of that, wrestling is a great form of self defense and an affordable alternative or compliment to other martial arts.
For any parents who sign their kids up for Wrestle Nation I will offer a 10 % discount on my bootcamp sessions in New Tampa. In my opinion fit parents plant the seeds for fit kids and this is a good opportunity for both parents and kids to improve their fitness. Ask a strength and conditioning coaches what athlete is the best conditioned and I gaurantee you "wrestler" will be the most consistent answer. The skills your child will learn in this sport will carry over to all the other sports.
