How often has your team gone out in a match flat and not ready to compete? It is frustrating as a coach and negates the long hours spent in the practice room. We all know the programs and wrestlers who seem to have it together at the right time. They are prepared and ready for battle. However, there is a fine line between doing too much and not enough. We talked to Jon Laudenslager, head wrestling coach at Wilkes University, about how he prepares his team for competition. Coach Laudenslager is entering his 20th season as the head wrestling coach at Wilkes. His teams have won nearly 300 matches while he has been at the helm. Wilkes is regularly one of the top Division III programs in the nation.
