Wrestling With Character

"My son George has been wrestling on and off since he was in Kindergarten @ Wrestling with Character. He has loved his experience there! Not only are they teaching proper technique and a passion for the support, but they teach valuable life lessons at every practice. My son chose to write about Coach Bob in an essay he had to do for a leadership trip recently. Here is what he had to say: “The most important leadership traits to me are character, honesty, passion, respect, and empathy. My club wrestling coach, Bob Murphy, has all of these qualities. He has coached me since I was in kindergarten and has dedicated himself to his club. He is always there for us! It's is not his full time job, but you would never know that by how many hours he dedicates to his wrestlers and the club. He has a different character trait that he teaches us about every month, that is why he named his club "Wrestling with Character". His goal is not for us to win all of our meets right away, but to be committed to the sport and to develop a love for it. To really learn from our mistakes, so it is almost second nature to us when we are out on the mat.” In a society where coaches and even parents can get so wrapped up in the win, win, win mentality, at the cost of character and integrity, what your child with learn at Wrestling with Character is exactly the opposite. Of course the coaches and the kids want to win, but they are learning that there is more to life than winning all your matches and that the life skills of teamwork, leadership, empathy, and respect come first. Those are the skills that will make your child a leader and a better member to society. We have nothing but great things to say about Wrestling with Character! Way to go Coach Bob! You are helping to shape young minds and hearts every day!"

"Highly recommend!!! We’ve had two kids in the program, one realized wrestling wasn’t for him, and the other is thriving. Such a great club to learn the basics with minimal pressure to compete, as you learn technique and gain confidence in the sport. The programs and coaches are amazing! This is how youth wrestling should operate. Building character and teaching valuable life lessons in a positive way."

"WWC is a great program is West Omaha. My son wasn't sure if he wanted to try wrestling, and Passion First was a fun way to get him into the sport. It mixes fun and learning, and the rewards system of earning a new shirt color is good motivation! Excited to join the Predator level and take it to the next level! Coach Murphy has built a great program."

"Coach Murphy and the Wrestling with Character staff do an outstanding job teaching young athletes the skills needed to become successful wrestlers. More importantly, they also help young people develop the character traits necessary for success in life. If you are looking for a program to help your child become a successful wrestler AND young person of high character, the Wrestling with Character program is the one you want to be in."

"Wrestling With Character is not only a place to develop and improve your wrestling skillset, but also your life. Coach Murphy does a great job of not only teaching wrestling, but also what it takes to be great off the mat. Anytime I step in the room I feel welcomed, safe, and in a positive learning environment. Since I have been apart of the team, I have seen Coach Murphy welcome any and all with the same kindness and open arms. Wrestling With Character is the place to be."
