ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
Adonis Lattimore was born without any legs. He has 1 finger on one of his hands.
Tonight he wins the VA 6A 106lb State Championship. Incredibly inspiring.
My prediction for the 2020 Olympic Team
57kg - Spencer Lee
65 - Jordan Oliver
74 - Jordan Burroughs
86 - David Taylor
97 - J’den Cox
125 - Gable Steveson
A year ago I had to pull money out of my personal bank account to pay rent to keep the doors to my wrestling club open.
Yesterday we had 52 kids at practice. I’m thankful for the struggles we’ve endured to get to this point.
I really can’t make this stuff up. I went to a middle school wrestling match to watch some kids that I coach at my club. The ref doesn’t show up. The coaches walk up me with a whistle and ask me to ref the dual. So ya I just reffed a middle school dual in jeans and vans 😂
I’m calling it now…
NCAA Wrestling Championships will have the worst viewership in several years.
March Madness starts the same day…
WE NEED TO MOVE THE NCAA WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS AWAY FROM MARCH MADNESS IF WE WANT VIEWERSHIP TO GROW!!!
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in less than 6 months of owning my own wrestling club : sometimes it’s harder to coach the parents than it is the athletes.
Maybe I’m a bit out of pocket here, but does anyone think Spencer Lee’s career has been mismanaged? Hasn’t competed in a WTT or OLY trial due to his knees, yet waits 9 months to have surgery. Im no expert but I think the Hawkeyes could’ve and should’ve handled differently.
Breaking news: after announcing his retirement from the UFC

Who is going to be the Cinderella story of this years NCAA Wrestling Championships? Last year was UNCs Kihzan Clarke. My all time favorite runs include Tariq Wilson and Kyle Conels improbable 3rd place finishes.
Man I’d pay big money to watch Spencer Lee and Patrick Glory scrap it out this weekend. Oh wait, I already do pay. Going to be live on
@FloWrestling
for everyone who complains about paying to watch the best wrestling in the nation.
Terrell Owens wasn’t the starter his senior year in high school but he scored 2 TDS on every NFL team and is now a Hall of Famer. Don’t sell yourself short because of your (lack of) success at any time.
Just rewatched Lee-Rivera. A few of my own takeaways:
1. Rivera’s gameplan was 💯
2. Spencer didn’t look like he had that normal fire in his eyes.
3. Rivera scored 3 takedowns and they were all different shots. That’s how you beat the best
4. Rivera hands and feet never stopped

@WINWrestlingMag
Ok I’m going to be honest…
I don’t really care and I’ve kinda given up hope around Gable Steveson.
In my eyes, he committed treason this summer by using USAW Events strictly for publicity. Dropping out of worlds was the last straw for me.

Being in a wrestling room coaching a bunch of 7 year olds can be the most frustrating thing in the world or it can the most fun time of your life. There is absolutely 0 middle ground.
Lot a whiney babies on Wrestling Twitter about NIL/RTCs lately. Remember the days wrestling had 0 money or opportunities? Wasn’t too long ago…Y’all better be grateful before we take 2 steps back.
Crazy crazy stat of the world championship.
@magicman_psu
is the only 2022 World Champion to repeat in 2023 in men’s freestyle. 9 of the returning champions failed to repeat in 2023
@wrestling
The thing I don’t think that’s talked about enough from Final X this weekend.
Adeline Grey. Just…wow
10 months after giving birth to twins she reverses a tech-fall loss from the US Open to win 2 straight.
Adeline most certainly deserves to be on the USA Wrestling Mt. Rushmore
As a Spartan through and through It really pains me to think this way…but I’m a really big fan of
@umichwrestling
. Really fun team to watch top to bottom.
I just wrote an email to the
@Stanford
president comparing Shane Griffith’s national title run to the ride of Paul Revere in 1775.
I hope my email didn’t have as many typos as my tweets usually do.
Alright so I just noticed something…why do baseball coaches wear the full uniform like they’re getting ready to play the game?
What if wrestling coaches sat in the corner with singlets, wrestling shoes, and headgear😂
Or you see Andy Reid strapped up with a helmet and pads.
Had an extremely tough conversation with my athletes last night.
Something that’s not talked about enough…mental health.
I’ve lost far too many people I care about.
I want my athletes to know I care about them and I’m always here for them.
Today I got to wrestle at a tournament and my son got to watch. Before I stepped on the mat I got to give him a big hug. He may not remember it, but it’s a moment I will cherish for the rest of my life. I’m so grateful for the life I have.
Yesterday I was at a youth tournament. One of my kids was 3-0 going into his final match of the day. He ended up pinning the kid and stands up, looks at the ref and says “I won all of my matches today” smiles and walks straight off the mat. Man do I love coaching kids😂
If you watched Feldman get the takedown to win the dual for Ohio State and think there shouldn’t be a dual meet national championship you probably eat sugar free ice cream.
Grateful. Blessed. Honored. I got the call yesterday that I’ll be on the call for my fourth conference championship and second consecutive ACC championships. Very appreciative of
@PackWrestle
for this opportunity.
I’m well aware I’ve turned into a get off my lawn guy…
But does anyone else find it alarming that there are 8U All-Star teams that travel and compete across the country?
Don’t care what the sport it is. This is a recipe for burnout
When I started with River City Wrestling in 2018 I called this my 10 year plan.
5 years in we’ve got over 100 kids in our club. Almost 40 kids in the room last night for our first day of freestyle practice.
If you build it, they will come…
My little wrestling club in Richmond VA just ran our biggest tournament we’ve ever run and I may be biased but I think it went flawlessly. 300+ athletes…and our village ROCKED IT. I’m extremely grateful.
The first weekend in March may be the biggest wrestling weekend in VA wrestling history.
@HokiesWrestling
host the ACC Championships
@ODUWrestling
hosts the MAC championships
@FerrumAthletics
hosts the D3 wrestling championships.
WOW!
2 years in a row a wrestler from Missouri was selected as an alternate for junior world championships and made the finals.
Safe to say the “Show Me” state has showed everyone they stay ready.
I woke up feeling extremely grateful today. Todays the 2 year anniversary of the day I became a business owner and opened the doors to my wrestling club. I’m humbled and extremely thankful for everyone who’s helped me on this journey. 2 years down and many more to come.
I’m so glad I was able to witness
@muels_a_million
last match in Memorial Gym. It was a special moment as he thanked the fans and gave
@stevegarland125
a hug. Congrats on an amazing career Jack. One of the best to ever wrestle for

David Taylor to OKST really shows the cowboys are serious about their success post John W era. Incredible hire that truly changed the landscape of college wrestling.
Hosting my first girls only wrestling practice today at my wrestling club. I’m excited to give young women the same opportunities that men have in this great sport.
Yesterday I competed in a bjj match
Today I coached wrestling
Thursday I fly to Fort Worth to watch
@USAWrestling
Olympic Trials as a fan
Im thankful for the balance I have in my life right now
Year after year
@M_Strick_
helps athletes achieve their goals, get to college and wrestle on the biggest stages. Contacts on coaching half of VAs NCAA qualifiers this year!
Wow what a day for Stevan Micic. Knocks off the defending Olympic Champ and World Champ in back to back matches to punch his ticket to the Paris Olympics. He will face off against another returning world champion in the finals tomorrow.
#WrestleBelgrade
Keeping talent in the state is a HUGE part success as a coach. Coach Beasley is crushing it less than a year in. Nothing but great things coming for
@GMUWrestling
One of the most underrated matches in Virginia wrestling history. Brandon Jeske vs Dennis Gustafson in 2013. Two warriors who were top 10 in the nation. Gustafson won 2-1 in OT.
