Episode 8: Body Leveraging Meets Grappling - Coaching Athletes at Every Level at PSF Wrestling
In this episode, Coach Carolyn Wester sits down with 2024 ADCC World Championships breakout star Michael Pixley and recent NOGI World Champ Alejandro Wajner. Both former collegiate wrestlers have successfully transitioned into professional Jiu-Jitsu athletes while also coaching youth and high school wrestlers. Carolyn recently visited PSF Wrestling in Mt. Vernon, Illinois to lead a series of clinics where both youth athletes and professionals trained together, learning her signature Body Leveraging techniques alongside advanced grappling skills. During the conversation, Dro and Pixley share how Carolyn’s unique approach to teaching position and movement opened new avenues for their own growth as athletes, with Michael incorporating techniques immediately into his competition training. The clinic also had a profound impact on their young wrestlers, who, despite initial hesitation, quickly embraced the concepts. Carolyn’s ability to coach all levels in the same session, while keeping everyone engaged and improving, is highlighted as a key factor in their athletes’ rapid progress.
