About Wrestling Mindset
Wrestling Mindset was founded by former nationally ranked, All-Ivy League wrestlers Gene and Jeff Zannetti to help wrestlers reach their full potential on and off the mat.
During their careers, Gene and Jeff noticed one of the biggest paradoxes in wrestling: everyone says the sport is 90% mental, yet almost all training time is spent on the physical side. To solve this problem, they created Wrestling Mindset—a systematic program designed to bridge the gap and help wrestlers master the mental game so they can perform their best when it matters most.
Co-founder Gene Zannetti earned his degree in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and holds two master’s degrees—one in Sport Psychology and the other in Clinical Psychology. He is a certified School Psychologist, Personal Trainer, and Nutritionist, and his master’s thesis on Perfectionism and Anxiety was published in the International Journal of Wrestling Sciences.
Co-founder Jeff Zannetti graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Economics and studied business at the Wharton School. Before launching Wrestling Mindset, Jeff worked in finance on Wall Street at Lehman Brothers, Barclays Capital, and Merrill Lynch.
Together, Gene and Jeff studied the world’s best athletes, coaches, and performance experts to uncover the mindset principles behind elite success. This research led to the creation of the Wrestling Mindset System—a proven, trademarked mental training program that has become the #1 mindset training system in the sport.
Wrestling Mindset coaches have worked with thousands of athletes and teams across the country, including the USA Wrestling Men’s and Women’s Olympic Teams, UFC fighters, NCAA national champions, state champions, and youth programs nationwide. While Wrestling Mindset remains the industry leader in wrestling-specific mental training, the Zannetti brothers have also expanded their Winning Mindset system to help athletes in other sports and high-level professionals in business and life achieve peak performance.
Why We Exist
Wrestling is more than just a sport it's a battle of will, focus, and belief.
Too often, athletes struggle with
Doesn't Pull The Trigger / No Killer Instinct
You see the opening, you know the move, but you hesitate. That split-second doubt costs you the takedown and often the match. We help you develop the aggressive mindset to capitalize on every opportunity.
Gives Good Opponents Too Much Respect
Putting your opponent on a pedestal before you even compete. When you're already beaten mentally, the physical match becomes irrelevant. We teach you to respect the competition while maintaining your own confidence.
Wrestlers Too Cautious & Hesitant
Playing not to lose instead of wrestling to win. Over-thinking every move kills your natural instincts and flow. We help you trust your training and wrestle with controlled aggression.
Afraid To Lose Or Make Mistakes
Fear of failure paralyzes performance. When you're more worried about what might go wrong than focused on executing, you've already lost. We build the mental resilience to embrace risk and learn from setbacks.
Practice Room Wrestler
Dominating in practice but struggling in competition. The lights, crowd, and pressure change everything. We bridge the gap between practice performance and match-day execution.
Chokes In Big Matches
The bigger the stage, the smaller you perform. Pressure situations reveal mental weaknesses that technical skill can't overcome. We develop the mental toughness to thrive when the stakes are highest.
