USAW doesn’t pony up cash for greco at all…
either way, i am sure he is thinking just like Sebie did that all he has to do is show up and the spot is his…
won’t be that easy…
They were about to for Gaber.
Gaber is ancient history at a time when the US actually brought home medals with a fair bit of consistency…
the USAW of today at best ignores greco and at worst actively plots against it…
with that being said, herb house is finding ways to get some things done… way more trips overseas… bringing in international guys to train here… not sure how he is doing it, but, he is damn sure trying…
i will add there is big news on the greco national coaches ranks that just has not been released yet…
as much as i have bitched and moned about USAW some things are changing…
They get their heads out of their ass and beg Ivan and Momir to come back?
ivan had his chance again a couple of years ago and that did not work out at all…
mo is just interested in helping out at michigan and helping out his grandson…
but the mo coaching tree has branches…
Who is she conning though? If her students excel or at minimum, get better with her training, who is the victim of the con?
I have never heard of her before I posted that video that popped up in my feed.
So I am unbiased and open to hear truthful criticisms.
from the limited amount of searching i did…
if you attended a camp or has been somewhere she has been then you are one of “her” wrestlers…
absolutely no credentials of any kind other than a USAW bronze coaching card (i have one) and safesport which every USAW card has to have… the fact that those two are listed as the only credentials is pretty telling…
all her videos make me cringe and i find it really hard to take anyone trying to sell anything athletic too seriously with her body type…
but…
i did see several other who i do respect have a connection with her and apparently we have 8 mutual friends on the facetubes…
all that being said, any better understanding of body awareness can only be a net positive in any kind of physical activity, so, more power to her i guess…
Most of what she teaches is second hand anyway. It’s the same thing the Russians did and still do.

come on immel, otto is a senior national team member also…
whatever…
He should have won that match. Makhov looked like he was about to die.
It’s been 10 years since I watched it and still remember thinking if it lasted 10 more seconds Robbie would have won it legitimately…
But…
It didn’t and he didn’t…
Whatever…
He is getting his medal 10 years later…
If he had died of oxygen deprivation after the whistle would Robbie have been the winner?
i read on facebook bobby douglas beat dan gable 5x in 1 day because coaches were rascists and wanted Gable t get Olympic spot ? can this possible be true ?
Yes.
amazing they would allow 5 matches in 1 day.If i was Gable and lost fairly no way id do 5 matches Real trashy to do if true.Find hard to believe but a little before my time
The coaches wanted Gable. Bobby Douglas was just better at that point. Gable talked about how Douglas attacked him in ways he didn’t even know existed.
do you have a link.Why would Douglas coach allow this to happen.
It was whoever the Olympic coach was at the time. Back then it wasn’t like now where everyone has their personal coaches around them.
