The Football & Wrestling Connection

"Wrestlers make coaching football easy. They have balance, coordination, and as a coaching staff, we know they're tough." - Tom Osborne, College Hall of Fame Football Coach - University of Nebraska

"I would have all of my offensive linemen wrestle if I could.” - John Madden, NFL Hall of Fame Football Coach

"I draft wrestlers because they are tough. I have never had a problem with a wrestler." - Joe Gibbs, NFL Hall of Fame Football Coach

"If I was a high school football coach I would make all my offensive and defensive lineman wrestle." - Mark Schlereth, NFL Offensive Lineman and ESPN Football Analyst

The physical and mental skills developed by a wrestler are easily transferable to the football field. Many current and former NFL football players, including Ray Lewis, Bo Jackson, & Roddy White, credit wrestling with improving their performance on the gridiron.

 

Wrestling helps a football player develop:

  • Agility - The ability to change the position of his body efficiently.
  • Quickness - The ability to make a series of movements in a very short period of time.
  • Balance – The maintenance of body equilibrium through muscular control.
  • Flexibility – The ability to make a wide range of muscular movements.
  • Coordination – The ability to put together a combination of movements in a flowing rhythm.
  • Endurance – The development of muscular and cardiovascular-respiratory stamina.
  • Muscular Power (explosiveness) – The ability to use strength and speed simultaneously.
  • Aggressiveness – The willingness to keep on trying or pushing your adversary at all times.
  • Discipline – The desire to make the sacrifices necessary to become a better athlete and person.
  • Winning Attitude – The inner knowledge that you will do your best – win or lose.
