Work hard. Decide to commit. Also learn how to use your length to you advantage. Short guys height wrestling tall guys.
I just posted a video on my blog of a guy who does this extremely well. His name is Ben Askren. He was a 2 time NCAA Champion from Missouri and an Olympian. He knows how to use his strength to his advantage.
He looses this match but watch it anyways. Watch his match here http://bit.ly/47WlGr

Ask your coaches to teach how to leg ride. Tall (basketball player body) wrestlers can cause fits for other wrestlers with good leg riding moves and the good thing is that these are not muscle moves.

work out it helps

You could be good at a cradle

nah i think short kids are better at cradles because they are harder to get out of

You need to consider your length as an advantage. Moves that force your opponent to stretch or reach also enable you to create a leverage situation. Create situations that maintain space because you can bridge that gap much easier than your opponent can. Along those lines, tight situations will help your opponent, so keep that in mind. There are lots of moves out there, but being kind of short myself, I hesitate to recommend any. Best of Luck.

just 5 push ups. all the way down, chest to the floor then all the way up. Do this before each meal. Do not hold you breathe or you'll get a headache. After a week, go for ten. Add 5 every week or two. Next thing you know, you're up to 100 push ups non stop. Then it's full steam ahead.
