Why we run it

Wellness belongs alongside the sport.

Mountain Forge was built on the belief that athletes should learn the tools for healing before they need them. Wrestling teaches discipline, resilience, and accountability. It also brings pressure, comparison, weight management, injuries, and an unwritten expectation to push through without saying a word.

Parents shape how a young athlete handles all of it. Our goal is to arm the adults in a child’s life with the tools to support the whole athlete.

Bring a notebook

You leave with a one page take-home: fueling basics, the college pathway timeline, and what to say after a loss. It is the page you will end up showing another parent.

Seats are limited by the room. If you know a parent from another program who would want this, forward it to them.
