Cashiers know how to make change. Lifeguards know how to do CPR. A Pro Wrestler is in shape. It’s part of your job description. Being in shape is how you make an impression the moment fans put their eyes on you. Being in shape is how you stay safe inside the ring. A wrestler that goes show to show without ever seeing the inside of a gym is not a professional.

In pro wrestling your body is your craft. Strip away the merch and the gear and the promos and the character and all you have left is your body. That is your first and primary tool for making a career out of pro wrestling. We believe a pro wrestler has to train specifically with his craft in mind. The split squat is simply put a superior way for a pro wrestlers to train due to its unique ability t...

Get your mind in the right pace! Take responsibility for your own destiny and WIN!

In this episode we are revisiting a controversial topic in pro wrestling…why you are the reason you aren’t earning more money. Not the booker, the promoter, or the fans. You.

I’ve seen the most talented performers fail to achieve their full potential because their minds were not in the right place. It takes a special individual with a unique mindset to make a living out of pro wrestling. Not a part time, not a pass time, not a paycheck, but a living out of this dream job. We are going to dissect the winning pro wrestler mindset by discussing 5 traits you need to succee...

It happens to the very best of us: Trainees, wrestlers, promoters, and everything in between. At some point or another you will feel like you are spinning your wheels, unable to move forward and towards your bigger goal.

It’s no secret that speaking is just as important as performing inside the ring. Promos are a vital part of becoming a professional wrestler, but there are more ways than one to improve your speaking skills. Even the greatest speakers are always learning.

What's the most feared thing for any pro wrestler? Is it injury? Maybe money? NO! It's the dreaded botch! Today we are discussing ways to immediately overcome any mistake made in the ring and be prepared for any future botch to come. 

Transform yourself. Your body is where it starts. Your friends. Your environment. Let’s become something greater.

If becoming a true professional is your goal then it’s time to get obssessed! Don’t let anyone tell you that you are too focused. It takes the 1% of the 1% to truly master pro wrestling at the highest level! Obsession turns average people into outliers. Extreme outcomes require extreme action.

Just because you have not found success as a pro wrestler doesn’t mean you cannot find succes in the pro wrestling business. As unique as it is, the pro wrestling business mirrors other businesses in a lot of ways. One of those ways being entry level positions that can lead to better opportunities down the line as well as side positions that can even become a new primary focus.

You need to treat every locker room you walk into like it’s the most important job interview of your life. Your appearance should be appropriate. Your hygiene should been perfection. And, everyone from fan to peer should be able to tell you are a professional.

To be a pro you have to train like a pro. Not just in the ring but in the gym as well. A pro wrestler should understand the importance and value of physical fitness without needing to be constantly motivated to workout. Setting physical standards of performance for your body is a great way to fuel that motivation and keep you focused on goals beyond just aesthetics.

Once your entrance concludes, so does your shirt’s right to remain in that ring. Using your shirt to cover the fact that you are not happy with the way your body looks isn’t fooling anyone but you. It’s time to utilize that emotion and fuel the fire to transform your body into something you can truly be proud to display inside the ring so you don’t feel the need to cover it with a tshirt.

People can develop such a toxic relationship with the holidays when it comes to eating. For the holiday season my advice is to enjoy yourself, remain active, and remember that 1 or 2 days of eating cannot undo months of years of hard work. Now that you’ve heard me say that let me address this episode… One of the most common questions I’m asked during this time of year is how can you stay commitmen...

If I had a dollar for every wrestler wearing red and black in the mid 2000’s I could have retired a lot earlier. I get it, we all have our favorite colors and specifically colors like red and black mesh well together. But, if you find yourself in a locker room surrounded by guys and gals dressed the same you should take that as an opportunity to stand out and switch your style for the evening or r...

There are no “man exercises” or “woman exercises,” but that doesn’t mean women should train exactly like men. Although women gain relative strength and muscle at virtually the same rate as men there are key differences in how women should train to get the best results.

Your promos are more important than your matches. There, I said it. I don’t want to bury the lead today. Your ability to speak and emote through vocals and facial expressions to a live audience or to a camera is more important than your ability to do moves inside the ring. You need both, but if you’re leaning on your wrestling skills alone to carry you to the next level I’m afraid you’re going to...
