Both my son and daughter have been training at Pitbull Wrestling on and off for the past year. In that time, my son not only placed in states in his first year but also achieved success at the MAWA Eastern Nationals. I share this to emphasize that Coach Jake Pollard is extremely knowledgeable about wrestling. He not only teaches the fundamental skills, but also stays up-to-date with the constantly evolving techniques in the sport. Furthermore, beyond his coaching abilities, what stands out the most is his commitment to surrounding our kids with positive influences and role models. In the world of wrestling, it can be challenging to find a coach who genuinely cares about more than just your skill level. Coach Jake has been an exceptional mentor and friend to our children. He has gone above and beyond by attending tournaments to support my kids even when they were not currently enrolled at Pitbull. In summary, Pitbull and their coaching staff have not only helped to develop my kids into outstanding wrestlers, but they have also instilled important moral values. Their genuine love for the sport truly shines through.
