Mocco Pinned Name On Hodge Trophy by Bryan Van Kley, W.I.N. Magazine publisher
Oklahoma State's Steve Mocco finished a perfect 37-0 season at the NCAA
Championships in St. Louis, Mo. with his second national title. The Cowboy
junior rolled up 17 pins this year, an incredible 16 of them in the first
period.
Because of that absolute domination of the heavyweight class, Mocco was selected
the 2005 Dan Hodge Trophy winner by the International Wrestling Institute and
Museum and W.I.N. Magazine. The Hodge Trophy is given annually to the sport's
top collegiate wrestler. A number of criteria are used with a heavy emphasis put
on pinning and domination.

"Incorporating Drilling Into Your Workout" by Jon McGovern
The level of technique and mat strategy in the United States keeps improving
every year. After spending one year training full-time in 2000 at the US Olympic
Training Center where I learned many different techniques and scoring holds. The
types of mat tactics, scoring holds and their variations can seem unlimited at
times.
When deciding an individual's best scoring holds, it is important to
objectively look at your strong and weak areas. Each wrestler is unique, however
if you want to be successful you need not reinvent the wheel. The highest
percentage scoring holds in wrestling from the feet are the double leg, the
single leg, front headlocks or counter offense and the high crotch. Just look at
what successful people are doing and repeat those actions and attitudes and you
on your way toward getting similar results.
These are the scoring holds you should be drilling on a consistent basis if you
want to optimize your scoring attacks. While everyone may have different styles,
