Backed by HeartMath® Science
HeartMath® is a research-based system of techniques, tools and technology. It helps wrestlers reduce stress, increase resilience, and improve focus. Using the emWave® Pro Plus, athletes can see their heart rhythms in real time and practice shifting into a coherent state.
- Quickly re-balance mind, body and emotions as you reduce stress.
- Build resilience through improved health, stamina and well-being.
- Maximize creativity, focus and performance under pressure.
- Be less reactive, think more clearly, and make better decisions in the heat of competition.
How It Works
We teach wrestlers step by step how to identify when they are incoherent, how to use simple HeartMath® tools to shift into coherence, and how to apply those tools during practice and matches.
- Awareness: Recognize stress triggers and patterns.
- Regulation: Use breathing and focus techniques to shift states.
- Rehearsal: Practice in short, repeatable reps tied to real wrestling situations.
What Wrestlers Learn
- Reset quickly between whistles and periods.
- Maintain steady focus throughout long tournaments.
- Recover emotionally and mentally after tough matches.
- Develop inner confidence that shows up under pressure.
Group Training
Training together builds accountability and energy. Wrestlers learn HeartMath® tools in a group format and practice applying them under pressure.
- Respond instead of react.
- Sharper focus during practice and competition.
- Greater resilience and faster recovery.
Private Training
One-on-one sessions provide customized support for each athlete. Wrestlers master the techniques at their own pace and apply them to their unique goals.
- Personalized coaching and feedback.
- Deeper focus and clarity in high-pressure situations.
- Tools to handle setbacks, maintain confidence, and alignment.
- Ongoing accountability and mentorship support.
Team Workshops
Bring the training to your whole team. Coaches and wrestlers learn a shared language and practice coherence tools together.
- Interactive sessions with live demonstrations.
- Team-wide strategies for composure and focus.
- Follow-up guidance to keep skills sharp all season.
Will this make my wrestler passive?
No. Coherence creates a state of active calm—poised, ready and responsive. Calm assertiveness, not apathy.
How fast do results show up?
Some wrestlers notice a difference after the first session, while greater benefits come with consistent practice over time.
Is this therapy?
No. It is performance training using HeartMath® tools and biofeedback technology.
What ages do you work with?
Middle school through college, plus parents and coaches.
