USA Wrestling & The IYCA Join forces to provide an exclusive 4-week workshop series for coaches!

Join us This October & Take her Game to the next level

Girls’ wrestling is the fastest-growing sport in the country, and coaches like you play a critical role in shaping the confidence and long-term success of female athletes in wrestling.

This 4-week series equips you with evidence-based, practical tools designed specifically for coaching girls in wrestling—helping you create connection, build resilience, and unlock her full potential on and off the mat.

Here is a snapshot of what you will get

Session 1: The Case for Coaching Girls Differently

Learn why coaching girls isn’t the same as coaching boys. We’ll cover the key differences in how girls develop, train, and compete—and why the “traditional model” doesn’t always fit.

Session 2: The formula for Unlocking HER Potential

Learn the formula that will unlock her potential. Once you learn it and start applying it, you’ll see athletes open up, compete with more confidence, and stay in the sport longer.

Session 3: The Frameworks to Unlock HER Performance

In this session, we’ll unpack the key frameworks that build her strength, sharpen her mind, and keep her resilient, while leaving you with practical tools you can take and apply right away.

Session 4: Fueling HER Growth & HER Performance

What she eats directly impacts how she trains, recovers, and competes. This session reveals the essentials of nutrition that support her growth, while helping you spot red flags before they become setbacks.

Great coaching doesn’t just build athletes—it shapes confidence, character, and a lifelong love of sport. At the IYCA, our mission is to equip coaches with the tools to raise the standard of coaching everywhere the game is played. We ask you to join us in this mission.
