Programs

Mile High Wrestling is dedicated to helping each wrestler reach their individual best. Whether that be a state qualifier, state placer, a state champion, or a national champion.

This program can be used by young men to attain a great deal of success in their high school wrestling career, however, the ultimate goal we have is for every wrestler who trains with Mile High Wrestling to have the choice and opportunity to take this sport to the collegiate level. We feel strongly that wrestling in college is a realistic option for most everybody who has the dedication to come to a program like Mile High Wrestling Club. We also feel that the majority of wrestlers in this state simply do not know how plentiful the opportunities are for wrestling in college.

Many who do step in to a college room have a significant "lag time". That is, it takes them a while to adjust to the technical differences, intense training, and the physical and mental challenges of college wrestling. Our goal is to decrease that lag time, or eliminate it all together, through exposing our wrestlers to more of a college-like atmosphere.

There are four main areas we will concentrate on that we believe are vital in achieving one's personal best and/or preparation for college wrestling.

First and maybe the most obvious is technique. We will not only teach foundational wrestling, but current and advanced technique.
Second, we will concentrate on physical training. That doesn't mean wind sprints and push-ups, it means physical training centered around wrestling-based exercises and weight lifting used in the colleges.
Third, we will spend ample time on the various mental aspects of this sport, from dealing with pressure to having proper attitude. Every wrestler should enjoy his experience in the wrestling, and without the right mental approach to this sport, almost everything else is useless. This sport is a character building experience that will last a lifetime.
And fourth, we STRONGLY believe that the best chance for success in this sport and in life is to be self-motivated, and self-sufficient. We do not believe that you can build self sufficient wrestlers by micro-managing them. Yes, we will have a structured environment, but within that environment will be a lot of room for individual development and maturation. Our practices aren't going to be strictly catered to teaching a one-size-fits-all style. With several main coaches we will have more time to spend with individuals.

The staff at Mile High Wrestling Club also recognizes that every wrestler has different body styles and different strengths. This staff will focus on particular techniques that optimize EACH wrestlers abilities and potential. This couldn't be exemplified better than to look at the different bodies and wrestling styles utilized by coaches Tommy and Danny Clum and Sonny and Cody Yohn during their high school and college careers.

Wrestling is one of those sports that can make a tremendous difference in a person's life. We have already stated that our main goal is to help each athlete get to college, but more importantly, we believe that the discipline learned in this sport can and will have a major impact on an individual's work ethic and success in life.
