What is Team SA?
Team SA is a volunteer effort to help young athletes achieve their fullest potential. Joining Team SA is FREE!
SA stands for "self-actualization."
Self-actualization is the process of personal growth and fulfillment of one's potential. For young athletes, this means developing their talents and abilities to the fullest, pursuing excellence, and finding meaning and purpose in their athletic pursuits. This concept was introduced by Abraham Maslow, a humanistic psychologist who proposed that self-actualization is the highest level of a hierarchy of needs that must be met to achieve personal fulfillment.
The logo is an "S" and "A" in a pyramid shape - symbolizing the hierarchy of needs suggested by Maslow.
Team SA's mission is to support young athletes in fulfilling their potential through the sport of wrestling by cultivating a growth mindset, a relentless work ethic, and physical fitness.
The 5 C's of Spring and Summer Wrestling
Clubs: Wrestling as often as possible with good teammates is the most important aspect of any training program. Team SA, in collaboration with area schools, will ensure that wrestlers have plenty of opportunities to wrestle in all three styles throughout the week.
Clinics: Stay tuned for unique opportunities to learn from high-level wrestlers and coaches who will be instructing in the local area.
Camps: Summer wrestling camps are a great opportunity to get a lot of mat time and exposure to high-level coaches and other wrestlers. They are also a great opportunity to bond as a team during the off-season.
Competition: Get as many matches as possible. Try new things you're learning at practice and have fun. Try competing in different styles of wrestling!
Conditioning: No program is complete without a strength and conditioning foundation. Sport-specific strength training and conditioning should be part of your routine 3-4 times a week.
