Olympic Training Center: What an amazing opportunity to train with the senior level USA World team.

 Four freshmen from CrushersWC are out at Colorado Springs at the Olympic Training Center working out with USA Senior team. Bo Bassett, Jax Forrest, Sam Herring, and Jackson Butler will be at the OTC for 11 days training with wrestlers like David Taylor, Thomas Gilman, Kyle Dake, Kyle Snyder, Jordan Burroughs. These opportunities are mind blowing. Their training days consist of the Morning meeting with the USA Senior world team, where they break down video and footage from matches from the world championships. Whatever the focus is for the video sessions will be the focus that day at the two workouts. After the meeting is the team breakfast, followed by Practice one. Following Practice, one is a team lift. After lunch, the wrestlers have down time to get their schoolwork done. In the evening, around 4:00 is the second wrestling workout of the day. This workout is usually less technique and harder spars and live goes. After this workout is Dinner and finishing up the schoolwork from the day. Lastly, the wrestlers attend bible studies led by either FCA, J'den Cox or Kyle Snyder. 

This experience would be amazing for anyone, but for four HS freshmen is has to be surreal. They are literally training with the absolute best wrestlers to ever do it in the United States. 

Take it all in men and make sure you are taking advantage of every opportunity.
