Why Wrestle?

Perhaps more so than any other combination, many
coaches and players insist that wrestlers seem to make

The Best Football Players!


Three primary reasons the sports go so well together:

Balance

Tackling

Self Reliance

It is a total body sport that teaches athletes to be flexible, strong, explosive, agile;
to have a great sense of balance;
​and have the level of conditioning that rivals
any other endurance sport.
If done effectively, the football player-wrestler hybrid is an easily recruitable product for college coaches in either sport.  What football coach wouldn’t want an athlete on their team that is always going to give them 100%?  An athlete that they never have to tell, “hit the weight room,” or “you should get extra laps in after practice?” A true wrestler always wants to be the first to arrive and the last to leave.  A wrestler is self reliant and will never blame his teammates for his loss.

Wrestling makes football players
mentally and physically tough!
