Rutgers' Scott Goodale describes in detail his coaching philosophy and how he keeps his athletes' minds and bodies fresh during the season in this instructional video. Strategies for how to shake up practices are covered, as well as Goodale's thoughts on how practices must change up depending on the day of the week and part of the season you are in. You'll also discover the best time to let your student-athletes rest during the week in order to fend off fatigue throughout the competitive season.

Program-Building Philosophy

Coach Goodale begins by explaining how he created a model for building a program at Rutgers. He covers why recruiting, providing guidance for the social life of his wrestlers, and academics would combine to make up the backbone of his program.

You will find out what strategies Goodale uses to individually motivate his athletes. This starts by communicating the team philosophy before the season and each practice starts and extends into the post season. This will ensure that every athlete on your roster gets what they need to perform well at the end of the season.

Other often-neglected aspects of program building are covered, such as how to:

  • Make sure your staff is of one mind and on the same page.
  • Best scout opponents for each athlete on the team.
  • Keep injured athletes involved with the team.
  • Utilize your staff to maximize the benefit to the team.

Strength and Conditioning

Coach Goodale continues by detailing his philosophy on strength and conditioning. He gives an overview of how the strength and conditioning program is run at Rutgers during the off-season and in-season time periods. You'll get examples of how strength and conditioning work can be included during in-season practices without detracting from the technical aspects of wrestling practice.

This video provides several excellent tips on a wide range of topics related to starting and enhancing a wrestling program. It's a great addition to any wrestling coach's library!
