Elite Wrestling Coaching From Olympic-Level Experience

When you train with me, you're learning from someone who has competed at the absolute pinnacle of wrestling. As a two-time Olympic alternate (2008 Beijing, 2012 London) and NCAA Division I All-American at Edinboro University, I've dedicated my life to mastering the art and science of wrestling. Now, I'm bringing that Olympic-level expertise to wrestlers throughout the Bay Area who are serious about taking their skills to the next level.

My coaching philosophy combines the technical precision required at Olympic trials with practical training methods that develop champions at every level. Whether you're a youth wrestler learning fundamentals, a high school athlete aiming for state championships, or a college wrestler preparing for national competition, I provide the elite coaching that separates good wrestlers from great ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your wrestling coaching different?

Simply put, I've competed at the Olympic level. As a two-time Olympic alternate and NCAA All-American, I've trained with and competed against the best wrestlers in the world. I understand the technical details, training methods, and mental preparation required to excel at the highest levels. This experience allows me to identify and correct technical issues that other coaches might miss, and teach advanced techniques typically reserved for elite training centers.

Do you work with beginners or only advanced wrestlers?

I work with wrestlers at all levels! While my background is elite-level competition, I'm passionate about developing wrestlers from youth through college. For beginners, starting with proper technique from an Olympic-level coach means building the right habits from day one. For advanced wrestlers, I provide the technical refinement and strategic insights needed to reach the next level.

Can you help with college wrestling recruitment?

Absolutely. Having competed at the NCAA Division I level and earned All-American honors, I understand what college coaches look for. I can help with technique development, competition preparation, highlight video creation, and connecting with college programs. My network in the wrestling community can open doors for dedicated athletes.

Do you offer team training or camps?

Yes! I conduct team clinics, wrestling camps, and can work with entire programs as a consultant coach. Bringing Olympic-level instruction to your team can elevate everyone's performance. I also offer coach education sessions to help develop your coaching staff's technical knowledge.
