OUR MISSION

To build champions in life through the sport of wrestling
by pursuing excellence, serving others, and
putting God 1st.

G1 Training Center exists to develop wrestlers who excel not just in competition, but in character. We believe that wrestling is a powerful tool for building discipline, resilience, and leadership—qualities that serve athletes long after their competitive days are over.

Our world-class coaching staff, led by Olympic Gold Medalist Brandon Slay, brings decades of elite experience to Northwest Arkansas. We offer programs for all ages and skill levels, from beginners learning the fundamentals to advanced athletes competing at the national level.

But wrestling is only part of the story. At G1, we're committed to developing athletes while encouraging faith and character. Through our approach, we help wrestlers build technical skills, mental toughness, and lasting relationships that make a positive impact on their families and communities.

Whether you're stepping on the mat for the first time or training for the Olympics, G1 Training Center is where champions are built—in wrestling and in life.

OUR CORE VALUES

FAITH, FAMILY, FULL EFFORT, FELLOWSHIP

These four pillars guide everything we do at G1 Training Center. They shape our culture, define our approach to coaching, and help develop wrestlers who excel in competition and in life.

FAITH

We put God 1st in everything we do. Our faith is the foundation of our program, guiding our decisions, shaping our character, and inspiring us to serve others. We believe that true champions honor God both on and off the mat.

FAMILY

Building deep relationships on and off the mat. At G1, we're more than teammates—we're family. We support each other, celebrate victories together, and lift each other up through challenges. Strong bonds create stronger wrestlers.

FULL EFFORT

Pursuing excellence in every practice and match. We believe in giving 100% effort, 100% of the time. Champions aren't built overnight—they're forged through consistent dedication, hard work, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

FELLOWSHIP

Serving others and strengthening our community. We use wrestling as a platform to make a positive impact. Through service, mentorship, and community involvement, we develop wrestlers who lead with humility and make a difference in the world.
