Hey! I’m very new to wrestling, and recently we were going live and I went up against a guy who was much bigger and stronger than me. Usually I’m able to hold my own, but it felt like this guy just ragdolled me. I was wondering if any of you have any strategies that assist in dealing with an opponent who has a size advantage? Please let me know, thanks!

Hit the weight room... jk, don't worry about weight lifting until you at least get to high school.

There are weight classes for a reason, most of the people you will wrestle against in competition will be the same weight have relatively the same strength so you shouldn't get ragdolled. But in practice its ok to push yourself to wrestle bigger and stronger opponents. Just make sure you work on the fundamentals and don't get discouraged by losing to someone bigger than you during practice, that has happened to everyone that has stepped foot on a high school wrestling mat.

As for strategies to deal with strength, you could counter strength with technique and speed, but really it depends on how much stronger he is than you, there is only so much you can do against someone that is that much stronger and again that goes back to fair competition and not getting discouraged. Good luck.

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
