“Coaching is one of my greatest passions,†said Pami. “I think my experience at the highest level will only help the cadet athletes achieve their goals, I know how hard the training is, so I think it will be great for these guys to have someone they can relate to and who understands what they are going through.â€
Pami comes equipped with an arsenal of experience and skills to further prepare Falcon wrestlers for their upcoming season.
“Chase is going to be great for the cadet athletes because he is bringing the competition mentality to the training room,†proclaims head coach Sam Barber. “He's a person of integrity and character, so not only does he align with the institution but he is pursuing greatness in Rio, just like our cadets are pursuing greatness in All-American awards and championships.â€
Pami boasts an impressive wrestling background and is currently training at the U.S. Olympic Center as a 2016 Olympic wrestling hopeful. As a high school wrestler, Pami was a two-time Nevada State wrestling champion. He earned his bachelor's degree in communication studies at Cal Poly where he wrestled in the 157 weight class. During his time as a Mustang wrestler, he was a two-time PAC 12 champion and a two-time All-American wrestler.
Pami furthered his wrestling experience as a freestyle wrestler for Sunkist Kids. He was the 2012 NYAC International Tournament champion, and placed in the 2012 U.S. Olympic trials. Pami is a two-time World Cup team member for 2012 and 2013, and also placed in the 2013 World Team trials.
“I want our cadet athletes to achieve their goals, and become All-Americans and national champions,†Pami said. “More than just being great wrestlers, it is important for me to help these guys be great people outside the wrestling room.â€
Pami and Air Force wrestling will take to the mat for the first time this season at the Cowboy Open in Laramie, Wyoming this November.
