“Great platform to breakdown video and learn. Jeff does a fantastic job utilizing video from current wrestlers to illustrate his points of emphasis. Jeff understands wrestling technique and is able to communicate teaching points incredibly well on his platform.”

—Tony Robie - Head Wrestling Coach Virginia Tech

“Coach Bricker has helped my wrestling and mindset towards wrestling. His technique and strategy videos are top tier. I have worked with him reviewing matches after an event or even scouting opponents for big upcoming events!””

—Bo Bassett - U20 World Bronze Medalist

“Jeff and I share the same philosophies and principles.  He has been in the fire and knows what it takes. As a 3x All-American and captain of our 1996 national championship team, I can say—Jeff knows wrestling.  He’s lived the sport from every angle.

Jeff has a remarkable ability to break down technique across generations.  His recall of specific matches and the techniques used is uncanny; he has a gift.

He blends time-tested principles with evolving technique and sends it right to the athlete’s phone.  This use of technology is a major reason why high school athletes are developing at a much faster rate.

While film study, scouting, and learning from the best is not new, Jeff has taken it to the next level by integrating cutting-edge technology.”

—Pat Pecora - Winningest Wrestling Coach in NCAA history

“Over the past year, Trent Hidlay has helped me excel significantly with my wrestling, mental toughness, and overall growth as a person. Wrestling wise, he critiques my strengths and weaknesses while working with me to improve my technique. My biggest issue before working with Trent was my mentality before big matches. I would worry uncontrollably, be stressed, anxious, and not confident in my ability. While at competitions, Trent would always listen to my concerns and help me implement great habits and exercises to counteract my mental blocks. These habits and exercises have carried over into my personal life, and helped mold me into a better person. I can confidently say that my wrestling and mental focus have gotten so much better over the past year. I could not have improved as much as I did without his help.”

“Services provided by Jeff and Grappler Consulting are a comprehensive, personal breakdown of technique, mindset and match strategies coming from one of the best coaches from the talent-rich area of Western Pennsylvania. Jeff’s successes as both a competitor (3x NCAA All-American) and Head Coach at both McGuffey and Trinity High Schools lend themselves to elevating an individual to the highest levels of the sport. His unique approach to leveraging the latest technology to create an easy to use library of video content makes access to his knoweldgeable insight for individual clients accessible from all parts of the Country. The expanse of his clientele from all parts of the Country based on the value these clients have found from his video critiques is a testament to the value added to developing these young athletes, all done with minimal advertising, mostly by word of mouth.”

-Chris Como - All-American / Pennsylvania Hall of Fame Coach

-John Strittmatter - National Champion / Young Guns Coach

“Being a mentor with Grappler Consulting has been a game-changer for me. Helping younger wrestlers grow has pushed me to live by strong principles both on and off the mat. It’s sharpen my own wrestling skills, deepen my understanding in the sport, and improved how I communicate and teach. Much more than anything, it helped me take real ownership of my career and development, not just as a wrestler, but as a leader.”

-Trent Hidlay - 4 X All-American / 4 X Academic All-American

Serving as a mentor over the past year has provided me with a valuable opportunity to give back to the wrestling community and support the development of younger athletes. This experience has enhanced my growth as a coach while also sharpening my own skills through consistent observation and analysis of the sport. I would recommend this to all college wrestlers!”

“Coach Bricker has been a great influence on Slater’s mental game and does a great job breaking down
his film showing areas of improvement. Being a part of his program is a must for wrestlers that want to
perform at the highest level.”

-Parent

“I’m 18 years old and going into my senior year as a wrestler in southern California. I’ve dealt with heavy pre-competition anxiety and struggled with my confidence. Since working with Coach Peyton my mindset coach I’ve jumped levels in the sport. I’m finally able to wrestle free and go back to enjoying the sport I love while reaching the levels I’ve known I was always capable of. I couldn’t have done it without the support and help I’ve gotten through mindset and can’t wait to keep letting it fly.”

-Wrestler

“I started this program not knowing what it was going to be like and it has helped me so much. Starting with the calls my mentality and skill have improved from the videos and talks I’ve had with Peyton. Calling once a week really helped because it gave me time to gather things I need to work on and then ask for help with. Then later on we started to do privates and those changed me for the better. We worked on specific things me and my partner needed, and Peyton being at the next level really helped. He also was on level with us and treated us like friends not clients. We worked hard and I have become a better wrestler and person from this program”-
