Beau Bartlett appears to have excellent quickness and great scrambling skills. I get that he is an outstanding counter wrestler. But why does he not initiate more action?
The Van Brill match is a great illustration. Not including the final thirty seconds, the two wrestlers were in the neutral position for a total of 7 minutes and 24 seconds. During that time Van Brill took five legitimate shots, getting to the leg twice, and two half shots. Beau took a total of two shots, one resulting in the first period takedown. Two shots in 7:24!!!
I know that Coach Sanderson has remarked about Beau needing to be more aggressive. Even Beau has commented that he needs to initiate more action.
So why doesn’t he?
