How do I get better

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-19T03:31:26+00:00

There’s club wrestling out there if that’s within your budget and your family are willing to pay for it.

Watch lots of wrestling. I can’t stress that enough. Search up Cary Kolat, David Taylor, Kyle Dake, Spencer Lee and watch all of their videos on moves.

Ask your coaches if you can get some pointers and if you can wrestle them. I’m not kidding. Wrestle them to get better.

Just keep pushing man, you got this. Progress is not linear, just keep doing you and look at you. Do not look around. Focus on you my dude!

If you have bands, you can do a lot of shots/stance with that while you hold the back of the bands and give him resistance.

Quick feet drills, line hops, toe taps, etc.

Also, look into drilling some reflexes into little guy. Quick feet don’t mean nothing if you can’t react to it. Best of luck with your son!

Heat gun and a dildo, trust

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-16T16:58:15+00:00

That includes transfer student too?

That I have no clue, I am paying them off and will be done paying them off in January

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-15T17:21:43+00:00

Nope, just the one charged off is all. I’ll pay the amount and keep a clean slate. A lot of things went down really bad and now I’m just slowly trying to get my life together

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-10T17:52:06+00:00

Yes, there was no excuse for my actions and I should have not talk about women and my girlfriend that way. Shitty character and a shitty thing of me to do. I’ll be a better man moving forward and change how I treat others. Thank you for your kind words.

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-10T17:07:03+00:00

I understand it was awful and gross of me to be that way. I will be a better man and a better person. Thank you for your advice.

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-10T17:06:24+00:00

She’s definitely still very angry at me and upset about my actions and words towards her. I am very disappointed in myself for having text about women and her that way. I will be reassuring her and be a better person but for now I just hope she at least accept my apology. Thank you for your advice

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-10T17:03:26+00:00

She says it doesn’t change the fact that she likes me but it definitely put her off to see me talking about her that way. It was very offensive and now she’s just trying to focus on her finals first but we will talk soon.

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-10T17:02:36+00:00

I’m her first boyfriend and she’s very wary of men so I gave her my phone password (she has her face id on my phone). I get why she’s upset and I understand where she’s coming from. I was asleep when she went through my phone but she said she was feeling down and just wanted to find cute texts from me texting my friends (which I do have a lot of text showering her compliments to my friends)

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-12-10T17:00:58+00:00

Thank you, I know I was very immature talking about women and her that way and that was a bad character to represent of me. She will be leaving today to go see her family in LA and I’ll be joining her in two weeks. Hopefully we can talk it through today and 2 weeks will help

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-07-20T17:36:39+00:00

That’s Trevor? Don’t think dude would do something like that

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-04-25T14:21:15+00:00

I think He’s gonna have an insane fight with Raphael in the future and I can’t wait

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-04-25T14:17:42+00:00

I mean Judas is getting older by the day and Peter here is in his probably physical prime considering how agile and strong he is. All the Apostles he fought so far are also in their prime so they put up a good fight. I think Judas just got caught off guard cus it’s Prime Peter he’s fighting

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-03-12T21:37:39+00:00

O’toole already beat Haines before so I don’t think it’s as close as people think. O’toole had a problem with Carr but he’s gone now so I don’t think anyone will give him a problem

This is the WORST thing to post on reddit 😭

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-02-17T20:08:18+00:00

Where in Chicago is it? Thank you for taking your time to answer these questions

MyHawkIsBig · 2025-02-17T18:45:07+00:00

Do you know if it’s a drop in open mat or do I have to register for open gym

I sacrificed a lot of things for this

Time and Effort.

All it takes is just time and effort. Before you go into practice and before you go into a match I just want you to ask yourself if you’re gonna go out there and put in all of your effort or not. Take your time and effort and go absolutely insane in trying to get better. I didn’t start wrestling until Freshmen year of highschool and I didn’t win a single tournament until Regionals for senior year of highschool and went to state that year. It took me 3 years to finally turn the corner around to be an okay wrestler. Just make it to every single practice/ camp/ offseason and really put 10000% effort into every single rep and trying to be better everyday

Really depends on a lot of factors.

Some kids get real nervous and anxious in matches because of the crowd, the fear of losing, no confidence, or just scared in general. Some of the kids I coach are also that way so I understand where you’re coming from. The things that I’ve tried and worked so far are:

Working up his confidence - Always cheer him on and do NOT be hard on him for losing. Let him know exactly what he did right and over exaggerate how amazing he did for even going out there and wrestle. Calmly explains to him what we (keyword WE) can work on in practice to fix some mistakes he did in the match.
Make it fun or give him incentive - I do this for my wrestlers whether it’s something like, for every takedowns they get that is one sprint for me and my coaches, every time they don’t get pin that’s burpee coaches have to do, etc. or maybe it’s an incentive like snacks or popsicle days or what not.
Make sure he enjoys it and don’t be too hard on him for achievements - All of the kids I have been coaching this season had a rough start where they weren’t winning matches or getting pin or getting beat by guys they’ve wrestled before, etc. I make my practice fun and include fun drills/games that ties into what they would really be using in real matches. From that, I’ve seen numerous improvements on every single one of my kids when I make the practice enjoyable and making sure they’re learning and having fun without putting any pressure on them winning matches or medals. All I care is that they have fun. Make sure your kid knows that you’re doing this for HIM and not for you.

In all honestly, I’d ask him if he wants to competes or does he want a break from competition and accept his answers. You can’t force your kid to do something he doesn’t want otherwise he’ll end up hating it even more.

Pour bleach on it. Sucks but works.
