Watch as Coach Mike Poeta explains and demonstrates this high crotch to the back leg drill. He emphasizes that in a live match he would never instruct a wrestler to use this but always take what the opponent gives you. The drill forces the attacker to cover a lot of ground and hit the opponent hard with the shoulder and to drive up. He tells his wrestlers to use their heads as a weapon and get it tight on the high crotch.
