A popular portion of past camps has been taking time to talk about the mental aspects of wrestling, including goal setting, visualization, pre and post match routines, weight cutting, and the cross-over of wrestling to academics and life skills. Matt currently serves as an assistant coach at Stanford University and will primarily be running the technique/intensive camp the same way he coaches his collegiate athletes. Current college wrestlers will also be helping with camp and showing some of their favorite techniques as well as wrestling with campers. They are very popular with young wrestlers, and serve as role models and an example of what it takes to succeed at the collegiate levels.

Camp this year will be broken up by age/skill level. Generally young or new wrestlers to the sport will attend the kids/beginner camp in the morning only. High school aged or more advanced wrestlers should attend the technique/intensive camp all day as there will be more focus and intensity. You may have heard the phrase, “Summer wrestling makes winter Champions” and these two Oregon Wrestling Camps are a great opportunity for a young wrestler of any skill level to learn with some of the best wrestling coaches around and have fun in the process.
