More Than a Sport

Building Leaders,
Not Just Wrestlers

The Foundry exists to develop young people of character. Wrestling is the vehicle — but discipline, integrity, and leadership are the destination. Every kid who walks through our doors will leave tougher and better.

🔥

Discipline

Wrestling teaches kids to show up when it's hard, put in the reps, and earn everything they get. No shortcuts. No excuses.

Leadership

From captaining a team to mentoring younger wrestlers, our athletes learn to lead by example — on the mat and in life.

💪

Resilience

You will get taken down. You will lose matches. What matters is getting back up. That mental toughness carries far beyond the mat.

🤝

Integrity

Respect your opponent. Respect the ref. Respect yourself. Wrestling builds young people who do the right thing when nobody's watching.

🎯

Accountability

There's no one else to blame on the mat. It's just you. That ownership mindset shapes how our athletes approach school, family, and life.

🏠

Community

The Foundry is a family. Older athletes mentor younger ones. Parents are part of the journey. We rise together.

Wrestling didn't just make me a better athlete — it made me a better man. That's what we're building here. A place where kids learn grit, respect, and what it means to earn something real.

The Why

Built by a Wrestler,
for Wrestlers.

Wrestling shaped my discipline and grit from childhood through high school. It taught me everything about showing up, pushing through, and earning respect the hard way.

When Coach Brad from New Site Warriors Wrestling asked me to help coach, and I found myself mat-side watching my son fall in love with the sport — the fire came flooding back.

I was reminded of what wrestling can do for a kid. And I saw the opportunity to keep building here in Alabama.

So many have poured their time and heart into laying the foundation. We're here to honor that work, and help take Alabama wrestling even further.

The Foundry isn't just a gym. It's a community space for growth, mentorship, and opportunity. A place where athletes and their families have everything they need to compete at the highest level.

We're building something Alabama has never seen. And we're doing it the right way.
