Our Mission

The National Wrestling and Performance Center has a twofold mission. One is to grow the sport of wrestling for all groups, to include men’s and women’s programs as well as underserved populations. Secondly, and equally important, is to enhance lifelong performance, leadership, and inner (personal) excellence. We will teach mental and emotional skills to diverse groups, including non-athletes. These skill sets are essential whether in sport, school or work.
