In film, the goal is the same when it comes to spy thrillers, detectives trying to prevent another murder or stop a serial rapist before he rapes and possibly kills again.
Time and speed are major factors.
Who will get there first?
Treasure hunts are a classic genre where speed is the ultimate factor.
Here is one example.
Fool’s Gold is a 2008 American action comedy romance film from Warner Bros. Pictures about a recently divorced couple who rekindle their romantic life while searching for a lost treasure.
Ben “Finn” Finnegan is a treasure hunter searching for a sunken Spanish galleon, the Aurelia, that was lost at sea with the 1715 Treasure Fleet.
A gangster named Bigg Bunny (yes, truly) and Finn’s former mentor Moe Fitch are intent on finding the treasure first.
Before you laugh about the storyline, the film grossed $111 million worldwide.
During so many competitions in life, the key is who will get there first?
Wrestling is no different.
Who is the first one to place themselves in a superior wrestling position?
Knowledge and experience is vital but what if you and your opponent are similar in that regard?
Speed can make all of the difference.
For those of us who have watched hundreds of female wrestling matches over the years, the competitive match often begins with hand fighting as one wrestler tries to beat the other to the superior wrist or arm securing position.
Once in that position the wrestler who got there first can begin to maneuver her opponent around.
The team at bulgarianmuscle.com explain, “Speed can be coached, it’s just how you coach it is the thing. Yes, some athletes may be genetically predisposed to be slower than others, however, speed can be developed to a certain extent. And in wrestling, speed is very important. It can allow wrestlers to wrestle from the outside at hit shots that opponents can’t see coming.”
Makes perfect sense.
In addition, the team at youngathletehub.com add, “To improve your speed and explosiveness in wrestling, you need to train with Olympic style lifts and do plyometrics.”
Plyometrics, also known as jump training or plyos, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power (speed-strength).
This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a rapid or “explosive” manner, such as in specialized repeated jumping.
Plyometrics are primarily used by athletes, especially martial artists, sprinters, arm wrestlers and high jumpers, to improve performance.
Let’s start to break things down in a comprehensive manner.
The important thing to understand about what we’ve said thus far, no matter what techniques you have learned, your opponent has most likely learned them as well, which only leaves one question.
Who will apply it first?
If you are a female wrestler new to the game, how do you increase your technique speeds?
Let’s turn to the literary world first.
