3 THE QUEST FOR THE PODIUM!

4 STUDYING ELITE PERFORMANCES

5 Hypothetical and Generalized Wrestling Performance Capacity Curve Throughout a Wrestler s Lifespan

6 Hypothetical and Generalized Wrestling Performance Capacity Curve: A Successful Life!

7 Hypothetical and Generalized Wrestling Performance Capacity Curve: Failed to Meet Potential

8 PROBLEMS TO BE ADDRESSED 1. The high drop-out rate among the youth in our sport. 2. Wrestlers coming to our national team lacking a broad physical and technical foundation. 3. Not having a common training syllabus that is based upon known growth and maturational factors. 4. Adjustment to normal life following competitive career and managing long-term effects in the entire lifespan of the wrestler.

9 Provide a scientific basis for our programs Provide for individual differences in growing youth Emphasize the ultimate benefits of participation Develop skills through participation in wrestling for the long-term (preventing "burn-out ) Relieve pressure to win immediately emphasize commitment, effort, diligence, courage and determination Provide the necessary medical and career support

28 PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER Can you give some advice to the beginning wrestler? Karelin: I started wrestling when I was 12 years old. My advice is simple-if you decide to wrestle, it is necessary to know what you want; listen to your coach; and be ruthless to yourself.

36 SUMMARY Georgiy Byrusov (RUSSIAN Wrestling Federation) says this is where we must focus: Wrestling is part of the harmonious development of the individual. This traditional sport is very tightly woven into the culture of many countries. The primary task for FILA is to bring wrestling to the Olympic masses. Make it more accessible, popular and spectacular. To do this, of course, have a lot to work with. We need to provide for young people to go into schools and clubs and have the opportunity to engage in this simple, very harmonious and rewarding sport. Without this, we will not be able to compete for the younger generation."
