MINDSET
At TWA, we’re constantly teaching kids the importance of “doing the right things” on and off the mat. We have a core foundation of values and character traits that we will share with kids. We established three pillars of character traits to embody and acknowledge when our athletes demonstrate them. Our perspective can inspire wrestlers of all ages to reach their fullest potential as athletes, but more importantly, lessons learned through our practices will prepare kids for success in life.

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
Our goal is to create a dynamic training environment by leveraging our extensive network within the wrestling community. We plan to bring in accomplished coaches and athletes, both past and present, to bring them in as guests. These guest coaches will offer different wrestling perspectives and skill sets, enriching the training experience for our athletes. By utilizing our wrestling network, we aim to coordinate camps featuring high-level clinicians to create unique opportunities for our wrestlers to learn and grow.
