kingmidas you don't play wrestling. You wrestle. Wrestle is a verb, not a noun. You can't verb a verb.
1. It depends what you're best at, but you need to be good at all positions. Personally, I preferred top. I was (probably still am but I've hung up my shoes) very good at scoring back points from tilts. If you're very good on your feet, then wrestle on your feet. A lot of people will repeatedly score takedowns and let their opponent back up. You get an extra point every time and it can be quite demoralizing (2-0, 2-1, 4-1, 4-2, 6-2, etc.) Just figure out where you can score.
2. Sdo your moves correctly stertay low. Regardless of anything else stay low. Get head and hand positon at all times and stay low. If you're not as confident as a lot of people are, then staying low and frustrating your opponent can work wonders. I always wrestled more methodical on my feet and everywhere in all honesty. You have to pick your points of attack. You have to figure out what they are leaving open and attack that. If they aren't leaving anything open, then force them to. Just be methodical. Don't ever give up easy points and wear your opponent down.
3. Skill. Skill is by far the most important aspect of wrestling at higher levels. There's an expression in wrestling "Middle school studs make high school duds" and it often rings very true. Many wrestlers think that strength is all that matters, but if you do your moves correctly and get your technique down, then strength is rarely the only factor for a loss. nyone can get muscled up, but not everyone has the discipline to do things right. Work on technique.
Example of technique being the most important: I wrestled 152 senior year, and weighed in at every practice at about 149. I was eating 6-8 thousand calories a day trying to gain weight.
Everyone was stronger than me. Literally everyone except the scrubs I could have beaten with my eyes closed. You just need to stay in position and wrestle your match.
