UpLVL Assessment
3 new notes, 2 earlier notes, and 7 skills interpreted for Sage's development
UpLVL
Sage is progressing through the Transition Stage, with Hand Fighting and Top Control emerging as the most reliable parts of the profile. Across this report window, Neutral Attacks made the clearest movement while Hand Fighting continued to set the standard. In recent live hand-fighting and mat situations, Sage showed more control as the pace increased, stayed connected through tighter decisions, and carried the strongest habits into demanding moments. This shows a developing profile becoming more reliable as the demands increase. The primary priority is Neutral Attacks. Sage now needs to build control and timing before adding more speed and pressure. In the High Crotch to Finish Chain Drilling, Sage should develop a high crotch attack as a primary neutral weapon by drilling the setup, entry, and multiple finish chains, with one standard throughout: your head drives the direction of the finish, place it intentionally. Successful transfer will look like Sage using neutral attacks at full pace without losing control, timing, or awareness of the next option.

Coach MorganMar 31
Sage looked more confident from neutral and kept wrestling through positions. Hand Fighting and Top Control were the clearest separators in this session and created more control in the game. The next push is Neutral Attacks and Bottom Wrestling so that level holds when the pace lifts, the decisions get tighter, and the game becomes less forgiving.
Coach MorganMar 2
Neutral Attacks and Bottom Wrestling are the clearest next step. The goal is to keep the same quality when space closes quickly.

How It Works

Develop a high crotch attack as a primary neutral weapon by drilling the setup, entry, and multiple finish chains.

What You Need
wrestling mat
Mindset Rep
Lock-In Rep

Pick one detail to watch before the rep starts. Run the rep without adding a second focus.

Your Focus

The high crotch is one of the most effective collegiate and senior-level attacks because it provides deep penetration and multiple finish options from a single entry.

1
Set Up

From a collar tie, attacker fakes high to draw a reaction, then shoots a high crotch: penetration step to inside of the opponent's legs, head on outside hip, grip on inside thigh.

2
Run The Rep
A.
Finish Chain A: If opponent stands tall, run the high crotch to a double-leg finish.
B.
Finish Chain B: If opponent sits their hips back, transition to a lift and knee-tap finish.
3
Check It

Your head drives the direction of the finish, place it intentionally

Goal

You're there when the high crotch entry and finish chain flows without a pause between the setup and the finish, continuous motion.

Helpful Cues
Your head drives the direction of the finish, place it intentionallyWhen the first finish is blocked, you're already setting up the secondPenetrate deep before you commit to a chain, shallow shots have fewer options
UPLVL IT

Partner actively defends and calls which resistance they are offering, requiring a faster read and chain selection.
