When discussing the importance of purchasing the right wrestling gear, there are some that may consider it a waste of time. The general misconception is that all wrestling apparel is the same. Well, that’s just not the case. There is a variety of wrestling gear out there, depending on ones comfort preferences as well as their skill level. A very important piece of wrestling gear, that some may over look, are wrestling shoe. Yes, wrestling shoes. I know, a shoe might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you looking for wrestling gear.
What you need to look for in a Wrestling Shoe:
Comparing wrestling shoes with every other shoe and calling them same is one thing that will piss your wrestling coach more than anything else. Not every shoe is same, and not every shoe is a wrestling shoe. Wrestling shoes are specially designed to support wrestlers feet and ankles while they play. The soles of these shoes are tract focused to avoid any chances of slipping for the wrestlers, which again you won’t find in every other shoe.
1. Traction focused soles: Most of the wrestlers fail to cope up with one similar issue and that is slip and fall due on the floors while in a match or practicing. The reason being lack of proper wrestling shoes that fail to focus on traction. So, whenever you are shopping for shoes make sure you consider traction as one of the primary evaluation factor, unless you want to fall deliberately.
2. Go for high top ankle shoes: Normal low ankle shoes fail in protecting your ankles while your feet makes contact with your opponent’s body during the game. Most pro wrestlers go for high ankle shoes that cover their ankles which helps decrease the chance of an injury.
How many types of Wrestling Shoes are there:
Depending on the comfort level, there are two types of wrestling shoes:
Split sole shoes: Split soles shoes are divided into two parts and each part of the sole is made of different rubber. The advantage of these shoes is that these are more comfortable and mimics the feel of walking barefoot.
Non-Split soles: Non-split shoes are lighter in weight compared to split soles and are made of one single rubber. These shoes provide less flexibility to the feet restricting them to stay straight. One advantage of non-split sole shoes is that these are more durable compared to split soles.
I can go on and on about how great MyHOUSE’s custom team gear is, but then again I work here. So instead of hearing from me ramble on about how MyHOUSE has the best wrestling gear and team apparel on the market… I think it might be best to take a look at what our customers had to say about us…
We love the singlets. They turned out great. We wore them as a team for our 1st ever state duals appearance. We got a team picture with them on after our first dual we won down there. I will likely go your way for all future singlet purchases. We really liked the material you used as well and the price was very affordable. Also, thanks for getting them done so quick for us. You were the only place that could do it that quick. I tried my normal places I have used in the past first and they all told me they couldn’t do it. – Big Reds Wrestling ~ Coach

The kids LOVE them! Thank you guys so much! Not sure how you guys pulled it off with the expediting request and the bad weather, but you certainly delivered another batch of quality gear for our kids. I’ll tell everyone I can about how great you guys have been. Once we get done with our tournament this weekend I will need to start coming up with ideas for next season. You will most definitely be getting my business again. – Fortuna Youth Wrestling ~ Coach

These are more than enough reasons to convince someone to give wrestling try. Let’s take it a step further and give you the 7 basic facts every wrestler or up and coming wrestler needs to know to be successful in the sport.
Be consistent and don’t miss your training: Consistency displays your dedication towards the sport. This consistency and dedication not only helps you improve and grow as a better athlete but also helps you achieve success in wrestling and in life.
Don’t ignore the potential worth of your safety gear: Wrestling gear is the motive of protection. When you stay safe, you wrestle longer.
Learn to follow the rules to avoid mishaps: No matter how successful you become, you should always follow the rules. Rules define how you should take on the sport. Play fair and don’t imply any unfair methods.
Induce discipline in your behavior: Discipline is what differs a professional and dedicated wrestler from an amateur. Those who correctly plan out their Pre-Season, Peak Season, and Postseason, will strive.
Be passionate about fitness: Fitness will take you to higher levels of success, both in wrestling and in life. Try to stay fit and active so you can last longer in your match.
Increase your mental toughness: You have to be mentally tough to stay in the game. If you stay tough mentally and maintain your physical strength, nothing can bring you down.
Respect your fellow wrestlers: Respect your fellow wrestlers and they will respect you. Respect your mates irrespective of their gender, race, ethnicity, and color. Wrestling is one of the most diverse sports in the world and provides opportunities to athletes worldwide with almost 200 nations participating.

The number one factor for headgear is the protection for the head and ears, to subside any major blows that may occur during a wrestling match. When it comes to scholastic and collegiate wrestlers, headgear is mandatory. That is why it is important to choose the best headgear that is right for you.
FIT
Ear cups are typically one-size-fits-all, while the unit as a whole can be adjusted via the straps.
NUMBER OF STRAPS
Most headgear comes with anywhere between two and five straps, with the general rule being that more straps will yield a better overall fit. Two-strap models tend to slip and slide far more than four- or five-strap models, which can be highly distracting during a match.
SHELL MATERIAL
Soft shell ear cups made from rubber, cloth, or polymer are great for youth wrestling because of comfort and the lower risk of injury to opponents. Hard shell ear cups made from plastic or similar compounds are lightweight and durable, but may not be allowed in some competitions.
When you are thinking about purchasing new headgear, consider the gel cushioning, forehead protection pads, impact dissipation systems, quick-fit strapping systems, and moisture-wicking fabrics.
Check out MyHOUSE Sports Gear comfortable form-fitting headgear in a wide range of colors. Not only does MyHOUSE Head Gear have a sleek breathable cushioned ear shell cups, but you’re also guaranteed that you headgear will stay in place with its innovative top crossed head straps.
What is the one thing that any athlete strives for?
To be the one that comes out on top.
But know it takes more than just talent to come out victorious throughout any sports season. Proper nutrition, core practicing, mental and emotional focus, physical strength, and staying healthy are just a few key factors that will help with obtaining Peak Performance. What is Peak Performance you ask? In the sports community, Peak Performance is referred to as “the state of which an athlete performs to the maximum of their ability with the athlete characterizing subjective feelings of confidence, effortlessness and the total concentration of the task at hand”.
Just take a look at some of the most elite athletes and teams that seem to endlessly be in the spotlight for constantly having stellar performance year after year. A prime example of this is the Iowa Hawkeyes Wrestling Team. The University of Iowa wrestling program is one of the most successful athletic programs in NCAA Division I as well as being a member of the Big Ten Conference. Not to mention, Iowa is second in NCAA history with 23 national championships, all of which have come since 1975.
Key Points of Peak Performance
State of Mind
Your state of mind is just as important as your physical ability to reaching your peak performance. Many of the top athletes rely on sports psychology methods, skills and tools to get a mental advantage over the competition and learn how to improve their focus.
Practicing sports safety can help you stay injury-free which is one of those fundamental musts to reaching your peak performance – staying healthy.
Fitness Assessments
Have you had your fitness assessment yet? Whether you are on top of your game and looking to push the limits, or just building your athletic foundation, a fitness test will help you set goals and track your progress along the way.
Nutrition
The right nutrition can help you excel in sports, recover faster, decrease your risk of injury, and even reduce muscle soreness. Fuel your body right to get the most out of your efforts.
Remember, just because the season is over doesn’t mean it’s time to relax. Maintaining peak performance and committing to these key points discussed above, throughout Pre-Season, Mid-Season, Post Season a year-round process if you have your goals set high.
