As a very sensitive phase we can distinguish waiting and finding out the drawing lots results and for a successful performance, apart from good motivation and psychological stability it is necessary to activate the wrestler for the fight. In the preparation for competition a training competition with an increased psychological loading should be used. The existence of quality and healthy competition in a team is ideal, and it should be taken into the consideration when preparing wrestlers.
