🚨 Your goals don’t care how motivated you felt today. 🚨

Every wrestler says they want to improve. Every wrestler wants to win. But the separation happens when no one is forcing you to do more.

When you’re tired, do you still show up to sharpen your technique? Do you seek out high-level coaching? Do you keep the promises you made to yourself—or do you let your feelings make the decision?

School practice builds your grind. The right club practice sharpens your technique. **Neither will change you if showing up depends on your mood.**

People don’t listen to what you say you want. **They watch what you repeatedly do.**

If this feels convicting, good—it means you care. Don’t beat yourself up. Get back on track and make the work non-negotiable.

**Be honest: Are your actions currently matching your goals?**

Same wrestler. Different environment. Different ceiling.

Take a moment and honestly reflect on where you are with your goals: Are you progressing, regressing, or staying stagnant?

If you’re progressing, great—keep doing what’s working. But don’t stop there. Identify what’s different about your routine, your environment, and your mindset. What is building your confidence? Recognize it and double down.

If you’re stagnant, ask yourself why. Are you putting in less work? Are you giving the same effort to something that isn’t working? Or has nothing changed—but something needs to?

If you’re regressing, figure out what changed. Are you training less? Did you add something to your routine that isn’t producing results? Change your environment to a worse one? Or are you repeating the same habits and expecting a different outcome?

Your environment matters. Your routine matters. Your mindset matters. Growth doesn’t happen by accident.

Stop getting stuck on bottom. Your opponent’s pressure is showing you the way out.

When they chop and drive you forward, don’t rotate away and fall to your face. Use the X concept: shift your weight diagonally back into them, fire your elbow, bring your foot to the go position, and push back against their pressure.

Stand in a strong squat, win hand control, then cut and face.

A lot of youth wrestlers make the mistake of shooting while their opponents have control of the tie up. A great way to clear an inside is the baseball bat:

Control the elbow, grab the wrist, put the arm over and across. Step your leg back to load the shot—but don’t make the mistake of putting the wrist in the pocket. Instead, put the elbow there

Hold the elbow until you’re touching the leg. Now they can’t defend, the lane is open, and your shot is there.

Clear it. Control it. Attack it.

Your front headlock isn’t a resting position—it’s the start of a chain.

Club left. Catch the chin with your right. Circle, snap hard, and grab the near knee immediately. When they fight back to their feet, release the head and transition straight into the double leg.

Snapdown → knee catch → double leg.

Stop forcing one move. Create the reaction and take what opens next.

He shoots. You sprawl. Now make him pay.

Don’t relax after the first stop. Get to the mantis position, keep your elbows in, stay chest-heavy and on your toes, then push-pull until he circles.

Catch the pit of the knee, pull yourself in, and run through the finish.

A good sprawl stops the shot. Great chain wrestling turns defense into your takedown.

🧠🤼 Follow for more high-level wrestling drills

Get them stepping, pull the head, and attack the ankle. When they rip their head up to defend, pull yourself into the opening and finish on the double leg.

Key details: hit a deep squat level change, think nose to knee, and grab the back of the shoe.

From Successful Sales rep to club wrestling coach.

Pior to moving to Florida, I was living in NJ with my dream job in medical sales.

Safe/comfortable making a lot of money, one of the top reps in the country year over year.

Life on paper was great, but I still had this void as if something was missing. I sat back one day and asked myself is this what I want to do for the rest of my life? The answer was ABSOLUTELY NOT.

I prayed on it and God made it clear the reason I felt like something was missing was because I wasn’t living out my purpose.

I quit my sales job. Started an online Mindset Coaching business and moved to Florida.

After about a year, I realized I needed to earn some additional income.

That’s when God showed me that everything in my life led up to exactly this moment. It was time to fully step into my calling and become a wrestling coach.

Not just any coach. One that understands the brain and mind. Use everything I’ve learned from Jesus, Neuroscience, Psychology, and wrestling to help every kid and parent at my club to become the best version of themselves.

It’s been quite the adventure and i couldn’t be more grateful and excited for the future! 🙏
