We're excited to announce a new book, The Elite Wrestler by Keith Manos. Manos, a Hall of Fame coach from Ohio, draws on his decades of experience to pinpoint 14 different characteristics championship-caliber wrestlers manifest.
The 14 characteristics Manos elaborates on (one per chapter) are:
- Chapter 1: Committed
- Chapter 2: Motivated
- Chapter 3: Diligent
- Chapter 4: Athletic
- Chapter 5: Intense
- Chapter 6: Coachable
- Chapter 7: Optimistic
- Chapter 8: Physical
- Chapter 9: Technical
- Chapter 10: Determined
- Chapter 11: Goal-oriented
- Chapter 12: Focused
- Chapter 13: Persistent
- Chapter 14: Egotistical
This is a must-read for wrestling coaches, but just as valuable to coaches of any sport, giving prime examples of the key championship characteristics of both athletes and coaches alike.
