Wrestling is the recognition, development and exploitation of spontaneously occurring favourable dynamic conditions – according to definition – a complex task which an athlete has to master on the mat. Concentration, strength, technique and endurance are the basic elements of sport. A wide range, which the trainer must pay attention to and prepare his athletes for. This requires above all organization and overview, and this is exactly where my idea for my Bachelor’s thesis comes in.

A calendar which should be an optimal support for the trainers and which is especially designed for the wrestling season. In addition, the planning, structuring and recording of fights, training units and attendance should find its place. Also the weighing lists, which are needed especially in the months September to February on all Saturdays, are integrated.

From these considerations and requirements, which I, after my research, made on the calendar for the wrestling season, the product “MATTENRAND NOTIZEN – DIE SAISON-SAMMLUNG” was created. This is a novelty in the ring sport and not yet existent.
