    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
