Happy birthday
Thx!!
Even tho wrestling isn’t my main sport I focus on, this video helped me get more motivated and help me get back on the right mentally
Great to hear
@Tech apps cross country
I truly do appreciate all of this, it’s my first year wrestling and I’m a sophomore starting off pretty heavy and your videos have kept me interested and motivated to continue going to practices and excited for the season to start, much love 💪💪
Good luck let us know how it goes, currently it’s my 3rd and I’ve been watching all of his vids they are indeed inspiring
@@ablackegg I appreciate it, I’ll update every once n a while. Season starts soon so 👍
Yo me to I’ll be starting my first season on November 22😊🎉
Good luck on your journey. It’s the hardest sport to do. But the skills you learn in wrestling is valuable for real life. It’s what separates boys from men (same for girls and women). Wrestlers have this mutual respect for each other because only they know what they had to go through to compete (the weight cutting, the cardio, strength training, countless drills and reps, not to mention the literal battle with another human trying to rip your head off). Just focus on getting better and getting the fundamental moves down. It’s a young man’s sport because it’s brutal on the body. You most likely won’t be able to do it ever again in a few years.
@@Lbyt21 will do, much love to you brother ❤
“Without a basket, you can’t score” .......love it! 💪🏻
I’ve been following you for a couple years. You’re always very inspiring. I didn’t wrestle in high school, but have totally turned into a “wrestling dad”. My boy started wrestling as first grader also. He has always been decent, usually wrestling for 3 and 4 at tournaments, but not bringing home any hardware until his 7th grade year when he placed at every tournament we went to. He wrestled jr high and then was invited to practice with the high school team. His growth has been incredible. Wrestling may be an individual sport, but it takes a village. Especially for youth wrestlers, win or lose that support needs to be there. Seeing his confidence (a bit cocky at times) grow after last season has been so great. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I love when you make videos like these of you just speaking your mind, it really helps to prepare me for this season. Can't wait for this years wrestling videos :)
these are awesome! my 6yo just started his first year of wrestling camp and has been loving it and this gives me that drive to encourage him to really focus and perfect the basics
Happy early birthday man thanks for the video, keep doing what you do. This is my first year in wrestling right now!
Thank you so much. This month marks my first full year of wrestling and this video really helped me. I watch you all the time and just wanted to also say Happy Birthday!! 🎉
same, I started November of freshman year, now I'm a sophmore and cant wait for the new season
Love the vid man! Big goals and loving life 🎉
I remember starting wrestling as a freshman in high school and watching your channel, now I’m getting ready to start my senior season, time flies! Was originally nervous/sad that is my last ride, but like you said, everything’s gonna work out. Awesome video as always cayden
Try it out in college bro youll do great. My biggest mistake was starting wrestling as a senior and not sooner but i still loved it and wish I could keep going
I’m in the freshman situation right now. Any advice?
@@dirtymike123 my regret is trying to learn a bunch of different moves rather than sticking with a few and mastering those.
@@xxshazam6045 thank you man I’ll keep that noted I definitely need to work on the basics thanks for the advice
Thank you bro I started wrestling for the first time yesterday and this is so helpful, happy birthday :)
I’m glad that more people are wrestling you will get really good fast if you stay focused and work hard and have a good mindset
Thanks!
How's it going brother any questions
Thanks for another awesome video with great advice, and happy birthday
Thank you I appreciate it
I can't wait for my wrestling to start congratulations for your 15th year of wrestling keep up the good work👍
Yk I’ve been a fan for a lil over 2 years you’ve inspired me to get back in wrestling thank you so much and happy birthday love you
Thank you! Wrestling started back up today! I’m so excited. And happen birthday btw!
Thank you Cayden I really needed to hear this I got a Meet on Monday wish me luck!🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏼
Thank you for this vid, I will take notes in order to get better… I will make it to states and place states, and also happy birthday
Point 2 is such a great thing for young wrestlers to understand. If you have one leg shot that you can do correctly every single time, almost no one will stop your takedowns. If you can bridge properly, almost no one can pin you. If you have one turn combination that you've drilled over and over, it's going to work on almost everyone. You don't have to get fancy.
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. -Bruce Lee
Great video keep it up
Wow, this is excellent advice Cayden!
Very interesting!
Happy birthday bro💯
Happy Birthday !!!!!
Just forwarded this to my son. This is gold! It'll be his first year wrestling, and he's very excited. Thank you.
Happy birthday 🎉, God bless you bro!
Some of this advice can be used more than just wrestling. Got two birds with one stone. Keep up the work🙏🏼
Thankyou so much you make me starting next year feel less intimidating
Great advice!
Happy birthday bro, I've learned a lot from you through UA-cam, wishing you the best, greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing this. I liked it. I've started wrestling at 34 age. It would be new challenge and journey in my life
You should make a video on the gear you recommend for beginning wrestlers or the gear you use currently.
Happy early birthday!! 🎉🎉
I start wrestling for my highschool next month, Im excited
You have a very great mindset Cayden, I think about life very similarly to you. 👍
This is why I love that my coaches record all of our matches and post them on UA-cam.
Happy birthday🎂
Happy birthday cayden, hope you have a long and heathy life,i am 27 buy the way
These 10 things you said might help me out tomorrow if I got wrestling🙂
Happy birthday brother

happy early bday cayden!
Thx!
21?! Wow. Good for you young man. Enjoy and move forward!!
My goal since I first started wrestling my freshmen year, was to get on my school podium, I wanted to go to states, I wasn’t sure if I could do it since I lack so much experience compared to others but my Junior year I qualified however didn’t place and guess what didn’t realize my goal. I wanted to be known for something or at least recognized. I’ve lost a lot of motivation throughout the years, I’ve lost to freshmen in high school as a junior and that’s been a huge blow to my mentality. I’m now a senior in high school, and now I’m looking back on my mistakes. I’m watching my old videos and I’m realizing while even watching my current matches.
I always feel compared myself to people I knew where good, TJ Daughtery, RBY, Spencer Lee. I always wanted to be like then and I always compared myself to them. These are the mistakes I recognized.
1.) Comparing yourself to someone, it’s always good to set someone above you THAT YOU WANT TO surpass, someone you want to surpass. However you’re your own wrestler, so wrestle how you want to wrestle. Don’t try and copy someone just cause they found success in it.
2.) Take care of your body, just cause you won one match you think it changed anything? No you still have to work hard, you body is important, don’t pig out. Have discipline.
3.) For the love of god, it is okay to be nervous, even if it’s a national champion, it’s okay to be nervous, to me it puts me on the edge, someone who beat me in the past my Junior year I am going against at counties, I’m nervous, of course, however I’m mentally prepared, I’m watching my old videos on hudl noticing what I can do different and his habits and I’m confident I can win if not I can sure as hell give him a run for his money. However these are just things I’ve found, I wouldn’t recommend listening to me to much since again I’m not the most experience but always keep these 3 things in mind, nice video man.
Edit: Notice how all 3 of these things have one thing in common, mentality.
Hi Cayden. Very interesting video, thanks a lot. I’ve been interested in wrestling since a was a child, maybe when I was 13. I loved watching wrestling matches on tv. I’m now 41, and I am still a wrestling fan. When I was a young boy I wasn’t so sporty, except I played football with my friends. And there weren’t any wrestling schools. Wrestling was only considered as a dangerous American sport, only available on tv. I know here in Italy now there are some wrestling schools, but is it possible at my age? I’d like to start a very beginners’ course. You’re right: the most important things are having fun and doing physical activity, it’s not important to win or become a champion. What I liked the most watching the matches on tv was: thinking that this type of sport is a very difficult and hard one; during tag team matches I appreciated a lot the fact that two wrestlers are together, maybe friends, and are fighting, collaborating for reaching a goal (winning the match and defeating their opponents). In my opinion, wrestling is the most complete sport, for real men!
Thank you this is my first year wrestling I’m in 6th grade I’m 75 pounds really fast and small I’m 4ft 7 so this really helped I play basketball football and now wrestling
happy birthday 🪅man keep posting these fya vids yu help me in wrestling big time your vids help me to get dubs 💯👍
Thank you, Cayden
Thank you 🙏
Happy brith day 🎉🎉
wrestling is indeed the hardest sport 😭. i think it’s mainly because i hated cardio 💀, but i knew the only way i could get better is by having a good gas tank
Caden is there anyway u can make a video on how to increase ur chances of going to college for wrestling. It’s been my dream for a while
Thanks I'm boutta tryout for my first year of wrestling any tips I'll let you know if I make it next month in tryouts
Im not that good but I will be on varsity this year I have wrestled 2 years and the second year i did win 1st place at a tourney thats it so im gonna have the courage to lose this year and still keep going and be a better wrestler and person at the end of the season
Happy Birthday
Thanks!
My son is six and just started wrestling. Our goal at this point is to make sure he's having fun and enjoying the sport. I'd like to help him develop good foundations while keeping things fun and light. Do you have any advice on this front? Thanks!
The thing I’m bad with is nerves do u have any tips so im not so nervous going into a match
Happy birthday bro, i just wanted to thank you for posting your progress, and i wanted to ask you how possible would it be for me to make Alabama State Championship starting last year in 10th grade, and going on this season better and more confident and humble, I'm going 145 again.
Thank you! Definitely possible if you put in the summer work and seek more mat time opportunities outside of high school as well
@@CaydenHenschel I'm glad to hear that cuz all I've been doing this summer is training with one of the best teams in our region and area and they've really helped me get better, all i need now is cardio
Number 9 is amazing! In other words not have our identity just be in wrestling.
Wish I would've started earlier wrestled only senior year. I'm 22 now and have so many regrets with not doing it earlier! And here I am watching wrestling videos because I miss it more than anything I've ever done. If you're seeing this right now and are thinking about wrestling do it! You won't regret it I promise you that.
Maybe give Jiu Jitsu a shot. Not exactly the same, but similar and is fun in its own way. It is expensive though, but there are many people much older than you that compete in it so you’re actually on the young side.
@@Lbyt21 yeah I did jujitsu for years but I like wrestling cause it's more physical and jujitsu it's more of a flow which is really nice too but wrestling has my heart ❤️
@@justaintracin I agree. I hated wrestling when I did it but I miss it a lot now, especially since I learned more moves after wrestling that I wish I had known earlier. Nevertheless my body would not be able to handle a wrestling match these days. It would literally destroy me. Lol
Salutations de France... I Like wrestling ... Bonne continuation à vous.
My high goal is states I just started last year and I'm confident that I can make it to states and place the next year is state champ goal
Just started wrestling 7th grade year, what can I do to fill the skill gap?
Happy 🎂 🥳
What time do you wrestle on Nov. 5th at UWSP?
I am going on to my first year wrestling and I really am trying to learn to do moves what do you recommend 2:55
Noti gang
Let’s gooo
Bro gon get hammered the day before the first practice on his 21st😂
I don’t drink
@@CaydenHenschel yet, UNTIL YOU GET THAT NATTY
@@dillonmackay683 nahhhh
ye
It's your birthday happy birthday
I would love to do wrestling but my high school doesn’t have a team
i wish i born in the us. I just came to the US a year ago and i want to qualify for the state even i just started wrestling, iim a junior now and im scared i could not make it
Wow. I wish I was that smart about life when I was 20!
Cayden, did you break your nose wrestling? I got mine broke doing tae kwan do after wrestling for 15 years first. lol
Should’ve done water polo it might’ve helped with wrestling
Can I still be good if I’m starting in sophomore year?
My son has set big goals for himself, he’s been grappling since 3 and now he’s 9. He wants to win state this year
Niiice
@@CaydenHenschel you look like an adult version of my son ua-cam.com/video/hblUDZt67ig/v-deo.html
@@CaydenHenschel ua-cam.com/users/shorts6v9K9O97YDA?feature=share that’s his last tournament last weekend, some of his highlights
Guess what it’s my birthday too ayyyy
I started wrestling three hours ago that was my first ever practice I’ve ever been to and it was so much fun and these videos are helping me understand so much cause I feel like I missed out because I’m in seventh grade and the last 4 to 5 years I’ve been in a school that didn’t do wrestling for the last 4 to 5 years. Kids at my school have been getting good while I am just starting.
Awesome, have fun this year!
I have a question did he win state in middle school or little kid or just high school
This is My first year wrestling, i been training for like 2 months and imma compete this season, wish me luck
I am going on to my first year wrestling and I really am trying to learn to do moves what do you recommend
@@ChrisPaul-h6s watch all my top 5 moves videos
Thank please handfight video
I would love to wrestle against you man
All love but I will beat you one day
Nice video
bro i just broke my wrist during wresstling happy b-day btw
Damn! Wish u a speedy recovery
@@CaydenHenschel thx
I was suprised by the first one, since my first goal was to be an olympic medal winner 😭
I would tell myself to subscribe to cayden Henschel
I was thinking about what I would say to myself if I was talking to myself when I was an 8 year old wrestler....
1. Dang! Why are you so short?
2. Did you get that haircut from a drug addict?
3. Uh.. you realize that they make singlets that actually fit, right?
4. Now might be a good time to tell mom to calm down so she doesn't really embarrass us later on in life during matches
5. Save your allowance now and buy into a thing in a few years that will be called " bitcoin"
6. Before he gets famous, look into seeing if Spencer Lee will adopt you
7. AND, THIS ONE IS SERIOUS.... look up a young kid a few years older than you named Cayden Henschel and thank him for all the great advice he will be giving you in the future. You will probably not meet him personally, but you will still consider him a friend.
Thanks man!
daaaang Alex, you're him! I appreciate you
@@CaydenHenschel BTW.... Happy Birthday!
yo caden I need advice bro i’m like 121, 122 right but i wanna cut to 120 and idk if i should or i should go 126 and have more room to gain muscle weight
try to put on a couple more pounds of muscle and then cut to 120. if you practice in sweats the night before weigh ins it should be no problem to lose 3-4 lbs of water
If you aren't chubby for 120-125lbs maintain your weight, and if you are just eat a little bit less until you get to your weight goal, it's gonna take some time.
I skipped lunch at school before one of my wrestling tournaments in the past and I felt tired the whole time even though I just went down to 138 after I used to be at a plump 145lbs at 5ft. 3in.
@@Tony-bo3rw i’m low 120s/ high 110s on a good day and i’m 5 7
@@edwardmyles4760 i’ll try that thanks
@@beb2880 feel free to add some weight in fat, muscle or both.
At 110 lbs your right in underweight territory and at 121 you're probably at a barely healthy weight.
By B.M.I Standards you should be around 121-159 lbs at 5ft 7in.
If you plan to add some muscle you can expect to gain 1-10 lbs of lean muscle mass per year if you do it right. You gain more during your first 1 or 2 years (newbie gains) and you gain like 1-5 or even less once you get to the more advanced stages of your lifting/exercise journey.
I wanna do wrestling but I play basketball and I’m one of the best in my league but I don’t want to give it up
do both
@@CaydenHenschel I couldn’t because they are at the same time at my school
This video is great! Because what you say is very true, because being a Wrestler myself I have seen many of these things.
I will be the best, I will not stop until I am the best
Happy b day
Thx!
@@CaydenHenschel love your vids man you inspire me to be just like you one day! Thanks man you got me through so hard times on the mat. Keep working hard and would love to see another day in the life
I’m on the 15
3:41 Pause. You sure we talking bout wrestling
Add: WEAR HEADGEAR
I’m scared to start, I’m planning to start next year (freshman year) but I do not know what to do or what to expect if I do sign up for it. Can anyone give any tips to prepare?
If you really want to prepare for the toughness of the practices, do some conditioning work before you sign up for the team. A lot of the toughness of wrestling is being tired during matches, so building up your conditioning will knock out half of the battle. And hey maybe even your coach will see you take initiative and put you on varsity!
@@nuarbed what should I do for conditioning? I am weak so I am considering starting to lift again
@@AnReisVERYsigma Definitely lift and do sprint work. Sprinting is really good for wrestling because it most closely coorelates with the matches (for matches you're going full effort for about 6 minutes or less).
There are many ways to train sprinting, but one I like is to sprint on the sidewalk and when i reach a lightpole i start sprinting until i reach the next lightpole, and then lightly jog after that. Do this every 2-4 lightpoles depending on your comfortability level. This really helps with your stamina. Lifting definitely helps with wrestling as well.
(Also for lifting, incorporate plyometrics into your workouts, because they help with agility needed for wrestling)
good luck
@@nuarbed thanks bro. Im still afraid of filing, but I’ll definitely keep this in mind.
HOMELANDER???!
