Grappler Consulting offers elite wrestling consulting, scouting, and mentorship to athletes nationwide. Founded by Jeff Bricker, a lifelong wrestler, respected coach, and proud product of Pennsylvania’s storied wrestling tradition, Grappler Consulting is built on decades of hands-on experience and an unwavering passion for the sport.

What began as a small mentorship initiative has evolved into a national platform helping wrestlers master the physical, technical, and mental aspects of high-level competition. Through detailed match analysis, individualized scouting reports, and customized mindset training, our athletes learn how to prepare with purpose, compete with confidence, and perform at their peak.

As the program grew, Jeff partnered with Trent Hidlay, one of the most driven and decorated wrestlers in the world. Trent not only lives by the principles and philosophies of Grappler Consulting—he’s also proof of their impact. Working side by side, Jeff and Trent combined technical expertise with data-driven analysis to elevate both Trent’s own performance and that of their clients.

Two remarkable things happened during this journey: Trent’s athletes began achieving new levels of success—mentally, technically, and competitively—and he himself captured a World Freestyle Wrestling Title at 92kg. His firsthand experience using the same tools, mindset frameworks, and match analysis methods offered to our clients continues to shape the evolution of Grappler Consulting.

Today, Jeff and Trent lead a growing team committed to helping wrestlers across the country reach their full potential. Every day, we refine our approach—analyzing film, scouting opponents, and strengthening mindset—to ensure each athlete has the clarity, confidence, and strategy to win on and off the mat.
