Club Information
- Seasons of Club Experience
- 4 seasons
- 2022 Built by Brunson
- Poeta Training Center shut down and I followed the head coach, Zach Brunson, to his new facility.
- 2020 Team Poeta Wrestling
- Poeta Training center is where the elite varsity wrestlers on my high school team practiced. Although I continued to work with Toss Em Up I spent the majority of my team outside of the high school practice room at the Poeta training center.
- 2019 Toss Em Up
- I spent my last 2 years of middle at Toss Em Up. I am so grateful that I found this club and even more grateful for Coach TJ Parker. Toss Em Up taught me my aggressive attacking style and to take pride in all my matches (win or lose).
- 2013 Grayslake Youth Wrestling Club
- This is the first club that I joined. I was with Grayslake youth wresting from 1st grade up through 7th grade. I decided to switch clubs in 7th grade when I noticed a talent gap between myself and the competitors at some of the larger tournaments I was beginning to attend.
