Clinician History

At Vector Wrestling, we take great pride in the clinicians/counselors we feature at our wrestling camps because we feel strongly that they are those who can most drastically impact the youth of our sport. We believe there to be three fundamental attributes possessed in quality clinicians:

  1. Success on the highest levels (i.e. world and national).
  2. Experience coaching the sport.
  3. Ability to relate to and impact young athletes.
