Should fun be the goal of wrestling? Should fun be the reason we're even out there? Two ways to ask the same question. On Episode 28 of the Attack Style Wrestling Podcast, Daryl Weber and his brother Lee look back at their own experiences growing up wrestling in Iowa and wrestling at the University of Iowa to determine where the "fun" factor should be within wrestling.

Having fun in wrestling is often attributed to the wrestlers who win big, score points and entertain, but not everyone has that kind of ability, especially right off the bat. Is preaching the "fun" factor a deterrent or should it be harnessed in a different fashion? When kids quit, they used excuses like "it isn't fun anymore." Is that a product of what they're led to believe the sport is or is it just an excuse to quit when something gets too hard or frustrating?

NCAA champion Daryl Weber breaks down every teacher's favorite phrase -- Standards of Learning -- in this episode of the Attack Style Wrestling Podcast. Instead of trying applying it in the classroom, Weber has a set of standards that can be applied in the wrestling room.

Coach Weber will explain how his system evolved, who you should be studying when you're trying to coach the masses and how it can apply to all levels of the program, from Day one to Division I.

The final show in the four-part series with Daryl Weber's coaching secrets is rooted in building the right culture. Part of that is coming into a new environment and how to work with the existing administration, while also working with the existing wrestlers in order to get them to buy in to the program's goals.

We will tie in the past three episodes and again works on moving past the stresses involved with coaching high school sports and working with parents, athletes and administrators.

When it comes to coaching, techniques get shared the world over. When it comes to mental preparation and certain tricks of the trade, that's when coaches start becoming a little more guarded about what they know and what they're willing to tell others.

This four-part series will focus on some of those "trade secrets" in working on getting more out of yourself as a coach and more out of your athletes. Some are philosophical, some are carved out of years of practice.

Part 3 of this series centers around a debate with parents. Do parents belong in the practice room if they aren't active coaches? NCAA champion and Hall of Fame high school coach Daryl Weber talks about his experiences in dealing with parents in the room and some positive roles they can play.
