This translates to freestyle, folkstyle, BJJ, MMA, the playground, NFL football, etc. Any clips of that match? Would love to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGopher Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Askren said he wants to be in the wrestling room with his only focus being on coaching. If that’s his goal, a D1 head coach isn’t what he is pursuing. I imagine he sticks with his club. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Askren said on his last FRL that he also wants to coach more senior level athletes. Then there was a (mostly?) sarcastic discussion about Flo starting an RTC… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope his methods and approach catches fire nationwide. The kids coming out of AWA are phenomenal I Don't Agree With What I Posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Askrens are bringing guys to the collegiate and senior level that are ready to compete right away. I don't see why they wouldn't be effective coaching at the next level. They have a unique approach, with seriously impressive results. Notice how each of their guys wrestles with their own identity? This isn't the same type of dominant high school factory we've seen in the past where a coach molds each of his guys in his own image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM1965 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Askren seems like an Ivy League guy. I bet he's taking over at Yale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly, it is one of the best clubs. He's helped to produce a whole bunch of elite guys: Kegan O'Toole, Mesenbrink, Keckheisen, etc. He goes to tournaments with his kids and has fed many of them into the best college schools. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo6F2kLzD59li40zNKSeX7g/videos Given this maybe Iowa should hire Ken Chertow? ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.
