Coach Wright
My Journey
My wrestling journey began at Maumelle High School, where great mentors helped shape the work ethic and competitive mindset that still drive me today. I finished my high school career as a 5A state champion and three-time state placer.
I went on to compete for five years at Williams Baptist University as part of a program that earned a top-three national finish. After college, I spent a year competing in senior-level Greco-Roman wrestling, including the U.S. Open, which expanded my technical understanding of the sport and influenced how I approach wrestling today.
Coaching Impact
My coaching career has allowed me to work with wrestlers at multiple levels.
I served on staff at Mount St. Joseph University in Ohio, where I helped develop an All-American and NCAA Division III National Champion. After the pandemic, I returned home to Arkansas to coach high school wrestling.
Since then, I've helped lead programs to multiple top-five state finishes and have been part of three state championship teams — two as a head coach.
Every level I've competed and coached at has contributed to the system I teach today.
Coaching Philosophy
My approach is fundamentals first.
I believe the best wrestling systems are built around the positions athletes encounter most often, high-percentage techniques, repeatable chains, and strong habits developed through intentional practice.
But knowing what to do isn't enough.
I want wrestlers to understand why something works, how positions connect, and how to make adjustments when a match doesn't go exactly as planned.
The goal isn't to collect hundreds of techniques.
The goal is to build wrestlers who understand wrestling.
Why Train Wright Wrestling?
Over the years, I've learned that development isn't simply about finding another technique. It's about knowing what to teach, when to teach it, and how everything connects.
That's why I created Train Wright Wrestling.
This platform is where I share the techniques, progressions, concepts, and training methods I've developed through years of competing, studying, and coaching the sport.
No random collection of moves.
A system. A progression. A purpose behind what we train.
