⏰ 2:50 – 2:55 | Social Model #1 – 10-10-10 Rule
Definition:
“When making a decision, ask how you’ll feel about it in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years.”
Examples:
Skipping sprints feels good now (10 min) but may cost you in a match (10 months).
Taking harsh feedback may sting now but makes you stronger later.
Misconceptions:
❌ “It predicts the future.” → Truth: It reframes perspective, not certainty.
❌ “Ignore short-term feelings.” → Truth: Feelings matter, but perspective prevents rash choices.
Coach Script:
"Think bigger than the moment. Ask yourself — in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years, how will I feel about this choice?"
---
⏰ 2:55 – 3:15 | Workout #1 – Push-Up Pyramid (20 min)
Structure:
Start with 1 push-up → 2 → 3 … up to 10.
Descend 9 → 8 … back down to 1.
Total Volume: 100 push-ups.
Rest: 5–10s between sets; move together as a group.
Focus Cues:
Core tight, chest to mat, full extension.
Athletes falling behind rejoin at the current count.
---
⏰ 3:15 – 3:20 | Social Model #2 – Advice Paradox
Definition:
“Good advice is rare and often painful to hear; bad advice is everywhere and feels easy.”
Examples:
“You’re fine, keep doing what you’re doing” → comforting but not helpful.
“Fix your stance or you’ll get taken down” → stings but valuable.
Misconceptions:
y
❌ “All advice is equal.” → Truth: Filter based on source/results.
❌ “Ignore all advice.” → Truth: Learn to filter, not discard.
Coach Script:
"Most advice is noise. The best advice stings but makes you better. Learn to filter it — don’t reject it all."
---
⏰ 3:20 – 3:40 | Workout #2 – Wrestling Games (20 min)
Skill Focus: Hand fighting → setups → finishes
Blocks: Head block, thumb block, elbow block
Review Techniques: Arm drags, slide-bys, add duck-unders
Games:
Leg Game: Secure a double or lock on a single
Snap-Down Game: Make opponent’s hands touch the mat by any legal tie
Structure:
Short bursts: 30–45s goes, fast rotations
Encourage chaining moves, staying heavy, and finding creative entries
---
⏰ 3:40 – 3:45 | Social Model #3 – Building Your Triggers
Definition:
“Triggers are mental cues you build to flip negative thoughts into positive action.”
Examples:
Tired → “This is where I grow.”
Nervous → “This means I’m ready.”
Misconceptions:
❌ “Triggers are automatic forever.” → Truth: They need reps.
❌ “Positive thinking is fake.” → Truth: Mental conditioning is training like any other.
Coach Script:
"Your brain will hand you negativity. Train it to flip those thoughts into fuel. Build triggers now, so they’re automatic later."
