Coaching Women's Wrestling: Chain Attacks from Elbow Pass to Cradle is a complete guide to building aggressive, high-level wrestlers through a chain attack system designed for constant pressure and scoring.

Troy Bell, retired U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant and head coach at West Liberty University, introduces a flow-based offensive system built around the elbow pass. From this position, wrestlers learn to transition seamlessly into high crotch finishes, turks, dumps, double legs, and cradles, keeping opponents under constant pressure.

Through live demonstrations with collegiate athletes, Coach Bell provides real-time corrections and coaching insights that help you troubleshoot techniques, recognize openings, and teach athletes how to react instinctively in dynamic situations.

The video also features a complete front headlock series, including go-behinds, misdirection attacks, and control positions that allow wrestlers to dominate neutral exchanges. Shot defense is emphasized throughout, teaching athletes how to stay offensive even when reacting to an opponent's attack.

A major focus is placed on developing high-percentage cradles and turning defense into offense. Wrestlers learn how to capitalize on position, timing, and pressure to convert opportunities into points.

By the end of the video, coaches will have a clear blueprint for teaching fluid, relentless, and strategic wrestling. Athletes will develop the ability to chain attacks naturally, move with confidence, and score consistently in every phase of the match.
