Neutral Attacks and Hand Fighting are already showing up as meaningful strengths through live hand-fighting and mat situations, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Top Control.
Jaxon is doing well with shot finish, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Jaxon needs to keep developing top control so this part of the game becomes more consistent under pressure. The next step is cleaner reps that hold up at game speed.

Jaxon's Skill Build: Top Control
Your drill this week: Legs-In Riding Continuation Drill
Develop the ability to insert and maintain legs-in (ride legs) position on a moving opponent, building the core and hip strength needed for sustained riding.
Pick one detail to watch before the rep starts. Run the rep without adding a second focus.
Riding legs is one of the most effective top control tools in wrestling, but it requires the physical ability to maintain the position against an actively resisting opponent.
Top wrestler starts in a flat position on a bottom wrestler with one leg inserted (hook in) from the side.
Drive your hips down into their hips, not just your legs
Success is keeping legs-in for a full 30 seconds on a partner who's trying to stand up, your legs stay locked and your hips stay heavy.
Bottom wrestler is permitted to sit back and attempt to roll the top wrestler, requiring top to adjust and maintain control in a more dynamic environment.
Each skill gets a 1-10 rating that maps to a milestone, helping track skill development and player growth over time.
Milestones show progress in a specific skill. Players usually move through milestones with age, practice, and better game understanding.
Stages describe the player's broader development level. They are based on the overall rating, which averages the skill ratings in the report.
A player can be at different milestones in different skills while still having one overall stage for the report. The value is seeing what changed from one evaluation to the next.
The player is building the base. Coaches are looking for understanding, effort, and cleaner reps before expecting the skill to show up consistently in games.
