David Taylor reveals the reason for the moment of the viral Oklahoma Cowboys moment

Oklahoma State Wrestling fans saw their share of memorable moments, but only a few have triggered as much conversation as the virus scene triggered from their latest dual against Iowa. And frankly what kind of healthy gesture it was for the wrestling star who grew up in Tokyo and only moved to the USA to visit the university! During the newcomer Rin Sakamoto Debut, Osu trainer, was seen how to hold Japanese translation cards up in the corner -something, if at all, in College wrestling. At first glance, many assumed that it was a kind of gimmick, but David Taylor recently set the record.

In an interview with Pistols Firing, Taylor said that it was a clever and necessary step to help Sakamoto adapting to a completely new world of the wrestling, both stylistically and linguistically. “It was just a few sentences that Rin wanted to be reminded … just a few memories at the moment that held him”, “ Taylor explained.

But over the viral moment, Sakamoto's debut was a bigger story – the steep learning curve of the transition to College wrestling in the USA as an English from Sakamoto was still not competent. The OSU employees had to find a way to communicate with him for the game. Spoken words would not cut it – so written translations were used instead. The coaches were present in the entire dual and held Japanese translation cards in the corner. They gave Sakamoto short, simple instructions that he could interpret in real time. A card instructed him “Stay calm”, “ Reminded him to hold his head.

Sakamoto's debut was under the brightest light that was possible Drake Ayala At 133 pounds. It was a brutal first order, and as expected, Sakamoto fought 11-1 with a big decision. In view of the circumstances, the result was not the largest snack.

Sakamoto, born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, had already beat Waves as part of the National National team in his home country. He had struggled on the world stage and took part in freestyle, but now he was preparing to the wrestling in folk style, a completely different animal. In addition, he not only fought Elite opponents, but also for a language barrier. But hey, he still defied through him.

Loss, but a learning experience

Although Sakamoto was defeated, he proved that he would not give up. The struggle of a top twoal opponent in her first college match is difficult enough for everyone, let alone a wrestler in a foreign country and in a style. In addition, he was a surprise for the state of Oklahoma at 133.

This is just the beginning for Sakamoto, said Taylor. Although his debut was a loss, the experience of invaluable value was. Taylor found that Sakamotos are already there for natural talent and fire for competition-it is a question of the fine-tuning of his technology in folk style.

“He's probably Japan is one of her best boys at 57 kilos …” Taylor said. “Japan do not send boys to Asian championships that they don't believe that they will be quite competitive.”

This is not a project, but a real talent with promises. With time, lessons and employees of the state of Oklahoma, which continue to make him easier, he could be a real thorn in the side of the 133 pound competition.

And while his trainers don't always use fly cards that Struggle The world will follow its progress with a sharp eye. Sakamoto's first fight in a singlet of the state of Oklahoma was not a victory, but a message. All of his trainers believe in his development; His work morality is out of the question and his potential is unlimited.
