After discovering a love for the world’s oldest and greatest sport, Jake spent hours in the mat room working with the youth and high school teams alike. Jake’s goals as coach are to help instill the many values that wrestling can provide to the team, to help grow the self-confidence of every young man and woman in the room, and help everyone improve a little bit every day.

Matty beat out a future NBA star to make the Basketball team at his middle school but he still opted to pursue Wrestling instead. He just couldn't resist the opportunity to try and prove he was the toughest 158 pound kid at his school and then go up against every other school's best 158 pounder to show he was the toughest in the league. There's a beauty, brutality and honesty to going one on one on a wrestling mat that he has always loved and can't wait to share with his son, who is on the squad, and everyone else on the team. Wrestle!

I believe sport is a fantastic way to be our best self, demonstrate courage, commitment, respect, discipline, and teamwork. Wrestling is unique in that it is both an individual and a team sport. Finding your inner strength and focusing that externally with practice, hard-work, and safety can lead to great results on the mat. I wrestled extensively in the Midwest in high school and only started wresting as a freshman. With hard work and great coaching my high school career was a success. Fundamentals and dependable wresting moves were what I found to be successful. I believe what I learned from wresting is something you can take with you well into the future and that regardless of level or experience commitment and determination can take you far.

Luke Plotz started wrestling in his Junior year at Grant. He was hooked from the first day he hit the mats, despite being late to the game. Every practice was tough and every loss shook him, but his coaches never gave up on him. By his senior year Luke was catching up to his peers and had wrestled his way into a disputed varsity spot that he held for the rest of the season. He believes that with good coaches, and a supportive team, any athlete can achieve and exceed their goals. Now he’s giving back to the community that helped him grow in his formative years.
