World Wrestling Resource Train to Win Camps

3rd Annual Train to Win 28 Day Camp

We are thrilled to introduce the 3rd Annual WWR 28 Day Train to Win Camp, featuring wrestling legends Dennis Hall and Jon McGovern. In the wake of recent changes in the wrestling camp landscape, we have emerged as a beacon of excellence, committed to providing unparalleled wrestling experiences and life skills development.

Our Legacy: Rooted in the rich tradition of wrestling, our camp is inspired by the legacy of J Robinson Intensive Camps. Founded in 2002 world wrestling camps directors Dennis and Jon have been providing top notch instruction for wrestlers and coaches across the world.

The 28-Day Challenge: Our camp proudly continues the tradition of the iconic 28-Day Intensive Camp – renowned as one of the most challenging athletic camps in the country for over four decades. We believe in pushing boundaries, fostering mental fortitude, and cultivating an unparalleled work ethic. The camp’s  hallmark, The Train To Win philosophy, prepares wrestlers for the dedication and resilience, development, mindset, and training tactics needed to achieve their potential to win on and off the mat.

Our Commitment: At the 3rd Annual WWR 28 Day Train to Win Camp, we are dedicated to shaping not just great athletes, but exceptional individuals. Our coaches, Dennis Hall and Jon McGovern, bring a wealth of expertise, passion, and mentorship to guide our campers towards success. Together, we create an environment  where every wrestler is empowered to embrace challenges, develop essential life skills, and forge friendships that last a lifetime.

Join Our Journey: We invite young wrestlers seeking  a transformative experience to join us on this unparalleled journey. The 3rd Annual WWR 28 Day Train to Win Camp is not just about wrestling; it’s about discovering the champion within. Embrace the challenge, earn your place, and leave with more than just  skills – leave with a legacy.
