About Coach Pryor
Who is Coach Pryor?Coach Pryor's main focus in wrestling is to dominate, hard work, and impose your will. When he started wrestling, he couldn't beat anyone. The only thing Coach Pryor could do was out work everyone. His belief was that since he wasn't the strongest, quickest, and most technical then he should just work harder than everyone. Once his high school coach saw his work ethic, he immediately told him that he would become a state champ. Everyone on the team laughed because of how inexperienced he was. The key that helped Coach Pryor excel was the off season training. Everyone comes to regular season practice and matches but only the ones who want to go to the next level train in the off season. He continued to train in the summer while everyone else was traveling with family or going to the beach. His off season regimen was elite and concentrated on focus, determination, commitment, vision, and goals. He would set his goals so high that he was embarrassed to tell anyone because they would tell him it was impossible. So he kept his goals to himself and went on a mission to reach them. Since he trained so hard in the off season, it paid off during the regular season. He did what everyone said was impossible. He became a state champion, High school All-American, received a full scholarship to college, became a 3 time college conference champ, respected amongst his peers and competitors, and now a good coach/mentor to pass down knowledge to the youth. Coach Pryor is a living example of what hard work can get you. He is a living example of going against all the odds. He is a living example of sacrifice, determination, commitment, and vision. Coach Pryor would like to help other youth receive the same opportunity that he received. One thing that Coach Pryor lives by is No Excuses.
