You are better on your feet than on the mat. If you can't score from top with in 20 seconds kick your opponent out. Matches are won on your feet. Stay ahead in points also. If they score one we score two, if they score two we score three.
State championships are one by one point.
Win those one point matches. Mat awareness is great. Score on the edge, use the circle to your advantage. Don't ever back up, circle. Stay focused on your goals, listen to your heart not your body.
