Our team was able to break down some walls that kept us from performing at our best. As we went through the program our women started to gain more confidence and just have fun with wrestling. Not putting pressure on themselves to win every point or every match.

Mental toughness is just as important to me as speed, strength, and technique. Many times I have trained as hard as I possibly could and still came up short. I realized I was missing something, which was my mindset training. Ever since then I have been working with Wrestling Mindset to reach my full potential.
