What is the Nature of Wrestling Science?
“It is no longer possible for a wrestling coach to limit his work to on the mat training only. Modern training implies the increasing impact of several scientific disciplines. The coach should know the theory of his sport, the methodology of sports training, and the principles of anatomy , physiology, psychology, and biomechanics.
