Why?

[headshuck]

Separate from a College University. Led by 3 Olympic Gold medalists. Keeps Gable in the right sport. Brings Cejudo back to wrestling. Corporate sponsors should love it.

[CHROMEBIRD]

What if... we had a training center... maybe even an Olympic training center for wrestling... an Olympic training center where high level resident athletes could train... together... and get coaching and instruction... from veteran World and Olympic level wrestlers... 

[headshuck]

That’s great. This might be a privately funded club.

and it should be at a high elevation. Should be altitude camp to turbo charge the athletes cardio

That's what Treigning Lab and East Coast Treigning Lab are for. The math teacher-turned amateur triathlete seems to have it all figured out--just ask TJ Dillishaw...

And to make it really fun, tell ’em the mountains are blue when they need to cut loose once a month

[mspart]

I know the mountains are blue in north eastern Oregon.   Hardly the middle of the country.  But still...

Kyle Snyder is doing okay.

J'Den Cox is doing okay.

Adam Coon won a world silver training there part-time during college.

Aaron Brooks is wrestling for a spot on the national team.

Cohlton Schultz has trained there off and on since he was a kid since he grew up an hour away.

And of course 15 years ago was this dude named Henry Cejudo. You should check out his story when you have time.

And close to a good source of legal weed.

wtf are you talking about. Go back to "Derrrr greco greatest me no like USAW only dum dum leg grab. Grumpy ellipses go 'brrrrrrrr."

Snyder moved to the OTC in high school. Won a world title less than a year after departing Colorado Springs. He has cited his success directly to training at OTC many times, including a recent vlog/blog/documentary/whatever kids call content these days.

Cox moved there after college. Won a couple world titles after "only" being a bronze medalist. I'd say that is a pretty good success.

Aaron Brooks joined the EAP program at the OTC and skipped his last year of high school. I'd say he is doing alright.

But...

Nice...

Try...

I appreciate your steadfastness...

The mantra "never skip leg day" never misses...

You are always the first to dig deepest to move the goal posts...

What does this have to do with my direct responses to your question and follow-up question?

Also, you *are* a fan. What have you accomplished in wrestling other than being an ardent support of accomplished wrestlers? More than me? I know not. Less than me? I will genuinely say that no you have not. Neither of us has made a senior world team and that’s the whole gist of this, so let’s not get into an internet pissing contest that we both lose.

oh, so you have been in meetings with the OTC about what they can offer your athlete?

and you have turned them down?

please do elaborate...
