COACHING STRATEGY
TWA provides coaching services for beginner, intermediate, and advanced-level wrestlers. Our coaching style emphasizes an offense-minded approach, introducing wrestling techniques effective across all levels while creating a positive, high-intensity environment to maximize performance and technical development. In our wrestling room, we surround kids with role models who inspire and challenge them to be the best version of themselves. Our mission is to provide opportunities for kids to accomplish their goals, receive scholarships, and further their education through their wrestling journey.
GUEST COACHES
We create a dynamic and high-level training environment by leveraging our extensive wrestling network. Accomplished athletes and coaches, past and present, regularly visit to share their perspectives and skill sets while serving as role models and mentors for our athletes. By bringing in elite clinicians and exposing wrestlers to different styles and techniques, we provide unique learning opportunities that foster growth and development. These experiences help wrestlers refine their skills, expand their knowledge of the sport, and build the confidence needed to compete at the highest levels.
