June 20 - Day 5

The day the wifi died.  I'm sorry for my lack of posts both on here as well as our Facebook page, but the lack of wifi was actually great.  The athletes were forced to sit in the halls and speak to each other more than sitting in their rooms online.  Last night instead of sitting in their rooms, athletes joined together on a self-led game of Manhunt (a team hide and go seek mixed with a little bit of tag).

Today's practice was a lift and live.  Seniors started the lift about an hour prior to the juniors.  About three fourths of them has specific lifts designed by USOC strength and conditioning coach Brandon Siakel.  Others followed a whole body lift also put together by Brandon. The juniors had their second lift while here at camp. They also have a full body lift put together by Brandon. Check out our lift session by visiting our US Women's Wrestling Facebook Page.


The evening practice was live combat combined with Juniors and Seniors.  Coach Jenna Pavlik (Day) put athletes through a warm up.  Athletes completed speed drill executions and went straight into live.  The live consisted of period goes.  We began with five, one minute Greco goes and five, one minute freestyle goes.  Live ended with three, six minute goes.  You can also check out our combat session video on US Women's Wrestling Facebook Page.
