I am doing what my editor wants and using a flash with sports it went alright, I still don't like how they look.
I mean look at the shadow the guys head is making on the teammate behind him, a good 15 feet away 
Toward the end of the meet my batteries in the flash decided to give up the ghost just in time for one of the wrestlers to split his head open. There was blood, a stretcher and a very nervous mother, she was on the mat within seconds of him not getting up, the poor kid he didn't have a chance of not looking like his mommy's baby.
I tried using a flash with swimming I got a couple with the flash but they all had their heads down so I gave up and did it my way.

I really like the first shot of wrestling. I LOVE the lighting. I don't really agree with the "use of flash" I think it's dumb! but do some of what your editor wants and then do what ou want at the same time!! BE REBELIOUS!!! ha ha ha.
That's so sad. The real lighting is so sick! As in cool sick. There are cool ways to use flash with sports. Maybe check out some Dave Black and get some ideas? They are mostly using off camera remote flashes... give it a go?
