MEET YOUR COACHES
Our team of experienced and accomplished coaches brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the mat. With backgrounds that include state championships, national accolades, collegiate All-American honors, and elite-level coaching experience, they are committed to developing wrestlers of all skill levels. Whether through personalized instruction, technical expertise, or a focus on mental toughness, our coaches are dedicated to helping each athlete reach their full potential and achieve their goals both on and off the mat.
​
Our coaching staff has belonged to historic Div. 1 programs, such as UNI, Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa, where they developed the feel of positional wrestling at the highest level of competition. This coaching staff used their selfish training protocol to not only become the wrestlers they could be, but transitioned as coaches being a conduit of the coaching staff within these programs. The time spent training under those universities helped established the morals, principles, and values that lay the foundation of the Dardanes Trained program.

Our
Mission
Carpe Diem
Our mission is to empower individuals by seizing each day on their path towards greatness. History calls upon those who are victorious when the odds are against them. They endure the chaos, use their will to stay calm, and execute when things get hard. This process starts with a dream. The dream of becoming the best version of yourself, following the strategy under duress and failure. This strategy uses each athlete's will power and gifts every day they go to battle. This will ultimately become part of who they are. It is not a reaction. It is instinct and muscle memory. It is about someone who will not be held down when times get tough on and off the mat.
