Reading Your Opponent’s “Tells” From the Top Position with Chris Pendleton – Oregon State Univ.

Watch full video with Wrestling +Plus here. • November 30, 2025 • By Wrestling Coaches Insider

Watch as Coach Chris Pendleton explains, and demonstrates reading your opponent's "tells" from the top position. When the opponent is in the referee's position you can read the tell on what the opponent is going to do. If the toe is pointed out - expect a sit out, if the hips are up with heavy hands - expect switches, and light hands with toes pointed in - expect an explosive standup.
