Hickscrappin Wrestling And Strength Solutions

My passion is coaching and helping individuals obtain their goals and setting new goals to strive for. I have coached wrestling for 20 years at the high school and youth levels. Additionally, I have coached numerous high school state champions, state place-winners, and wrestlers who have competed at the D3, D2, and D1 levels. I wrestled at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga for World Champion and Olympic bronze medalist Terry Brands. I have also wrestled under Kelly Ward, 2x NCAA champion, and my father, Wayne Hicks, who was an NCAA finalist and long-time assistant coach at the United States Naval Academy.

I can teach your wrestler to be proficient in all areas of wrestling while focusing on techniques and tactics that win at the highest levels.

I have worked in the strength industry as a certified professional strength coach for 15 years at various locations, including Golds Gym, Edgewater Fitness, Excellence in Fitness, and privately out of my own home and client's home.

Lastly, I have a master's degree in Child and adolescent psychology. I am currently working towards a doctorate in sport and performance psychology to serve better the athletes that I work with. I have studied extensively mental toughness in athletes and the proper development towards becoming a tougher, more intelligent, and more dominant athlete.

I aim to help athletes gain the mental edge while developing the physical tools to succeed and accomplish their goals.
