HAWKEYE WRESTLING CLUB
Meet Our
Team
Over the last 50 years the Hawkeye Wrestling Club has been led by people that believe deeply in the development and growth of its athletes – both on the mat and off. There’s a reason out athletes are known for their grit, tenacity, reliability, discipline, and loyalty…It’s been modeled everyday by their coaches for 5 decades.
This transformative program has been able to enhance hundreds of wrestlers’ lives through consistent, passionate work, and rigorous training. We are terribly-particular with the type of people we recruit to our team and onto our staff, ensuring we have the right personnel to make the greatest impact on our athletes and program as a whole.

ROSTER
Athletes are the backbone of our World Class program. Our recruitment process is vigorous and focused on the elite-of-the-elite. Like-minded athletes that want to be the very best, is where we focus our time and energy.
Our technical skill sets or wrestling styles don’t always match our athletes but our mentalities surrounding excellence are always aligned. Teams are built by individuals and unique personalities that come together with a common goal…and in our case, that goal is to be the best in the world.
