Hi Charles, Yes, that's it in a nutshell. Those skills should already be present, and if not it is really up to the end user to train himself/herself to get good with their screen reader. It really should not be the developer's place to write his/her entire program's interface to suit an end user who simply lacks skills with their screen reader. It is easier to train people to use their screen reader with a certain type of interface than to rewrite everything to make up for their lack of knowledge.
Speaking of college or Olympic wrestling that's definitely a different ball of wax. A lot of amateur wrestling uses Greco-Roman style wrestling which is more about grapples, holds, and pins than is typical in professional wrestling. Professional wrestling is really a catch all sport by borrowing from many different fighting styles introducing kicks, chops, punches, throws, as well as more traditional holds and pins. In high school/amateur wrestling we generally don't see guys picking up their opponent and giving them a front powerslam to the mat, but that sort of thing is typical in professional wrestling.
