So, the NJ 2012 wrestling season ended for EVERYONE on Sunday.

Congrats to those who made it to Atlantic City, BIGGER congrats if you placed or even won.

Team Underground sent 13 wrestlers to Atlantic City and The Home News Tribune did a story on these wrestlers HERE (click to Read Full Story).

When the dust settled, we had 5 place winners:

- Craig DeLaCruz of Bound Brook 4th place (Freshman)

- Jonathan Schleiffer of East Brunswick 3rd place (Sophomore)

- Troy Heilmann of South Plainfield 2nd place (Junior)

- Anthony Ashnault of South Plainfield 1st place (Junior)

- Brenden Curly Calas of Seton Hall Prep 1st place (Junior)

I’ve seen and heard MANY thoughts from parents and wrestlers on what to do now that their season ended.

Some return with NO time off, others won’t return till September (not sure who needs 6 months off) while others rest a few days.

I’m sure you can tell who is going to be the MOST successful, so, here are my tips for both athletes and parents:

Yesterday I was interviewed by The Home News Tribune regarding the success of our NJ high school wrestlers. Mid way through I broke down and started crying. Be on the look out for the story of The Underground Strength Gym and the success these athletes have created for themselves.

HUGE thanks to all the parents, athletes & coaches for supporting what we do as well as my friends and colleagues, near and far. If I tried to name ALL of you the list would be LONG! #ThankYOU

If you ever wonder HOW we train, the best thing to do is to visit our you tube page and see our training videos.

If you REALLY wanna gain access to our coaching to help you become a champion then PLEASE, do NOT call and ask for a tour of the gym.

Touring our gym does nothing…. and, only takes 10 seconds. Through the years, EVERYONE now owns Kettlebells, free weights, sandbags, tractor tires, etc.

The tools mean NOTHING, it’s the coaching that brings the results.

In addition, we are very selective as to WHO we train. Affording our membership doesn’t guarantee entree into our program.

Your entry into our program depends on your efforts during our trial workout as well as whether or not you have been referred to us from an existing athlete / parent. Your character is THE difference maker in your success.This applies to our athletes AND parents. Unfortunately, we’ve removed some athletes from our program when their parents had issues with morals, manners and supportive behavior.

Here are some short clips of our athletes in action. As always, it’s harder than it looks. If hard work scares you, The Underground will not be a place for you. We simply can’t be good for everyone.

As you can see, we have a variety of athletes training here, from middle school / youth athletes, to high school, collegiate and olympic level athletes – they ALL work side by side.

If you’re ready to become a champion we’re ready to work with you.

If you sign up for your FREE Trial workout and our membership is full you have the option to be placed on a waiting list.

Our space is limited to ensure the best coaching for our students, we give OUR best and expect YOU to do the same!

I MUST share this success story with you. Amber Rauh shares with us how she was turned down from training here when in 8th grade, then changed her attitude and catapulted her success in Volleyball AND life since getting into The Underground before her freshman season began.

NOT many can outwork Amber, and far and few between have better technique.

We’re often asked if we train girls at The Underground, the answers is “YES!”, we train anyone who wants to work hard AND has supportive parents. This is a RARE combination but when it all comes together HUGE success is achieved.

Check out Amber’s success story….. only 15 years young, she hasn’t come anywhere near her potential, we’ve only just begun!

Here is some more footage of Amber training side by side with some of the best wrestlers in NJ along with David Ellis, one of the best Judoka athletes in The USA and the WORLD.

As you can tell, NO limits, it’s ALL mind set, and that is the BIGGEST benefit of training at The Underground!

I still wanna see MORE dedicated athletes…. MORE parents encouraging and supporting their kids to become champions…. LESS excuses from athletes…..

Who wants to step it UP and train to become a champion in training AND life?

In Strength,

Team Underground

PS: Not ALL applicants are accepted here, as Amber said, you need to show up with the right mindset and the commitment to make it happen.

When Amber started training here I showed her a video of Hallie Kuhlman and she got fired UP! She saw that girls CAN be strong and still look athletic, NOT big and bulky as the false accusations are always flying around….
