Senior Corey Keener wrestles Old Dominion’s Alex Madrigal while the team cheers him on in the Chippewas match against Old Dominion on Jan. 27 in McGuirk Arena.
When a Central Michigan wrestler gets a big win, head coach Tom Borrelli doesn't think about rankings.
Instead, Borrelli thinks about how the match impacted the wrestler’s confidence.
Confidence does a lot for a wrestler, Borrelli said. Especially for more experienced wrestlers because they are already at their peak physical level.
"Once you get to a certain skill level and strength level, then everything is mental," he said.
