We started hosting Omi Acosta clinics a few years ago in an effort to bring high level technique into our program, but also to provide a positive influence on life, and making good life decisions. Our program attempts to work on development of critical character traits on a daily basis, and Coach Acosta's clinic is a perfect fit! He presents his technique in a very clear and concise manner as a series of progressions from a very basic skill to the next step in a logical sequence of moves, which immediately lends itself to implementation on the mat. His sense of humor permeates the entire day, creating a relaxed and effective learning environment.

Even more important than skills development, Omi takes the opportunity to periodically offer teachings and advice on life in general, often citing moments in his life when he was faced with making critical decisions and relating those instances to our athletes.

Coach Acosta's clinics have been invaluable assets to our wrestlers, helping them grow and mature on and off the mat, as athletes and as good human beings. He's welcome on our campus any time.
