Episode 16: Training Recap and Scientific Validation – Coach Wester Reflects on Summer Coaching

Coach Carolyn Wester shares highlights from a busy season of camps, clinics, and high-level training across the country. Over the summer, she coached in Kentucky, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, drawing athletes from 38 states and five countries, and led a Coaches Clinic that combined on-mat technical progress with open conversations about communication and athlete development. She then visited Driveline Baseball in Tampa, where motion-capture data reinforced the principles behind her body-leveraging system. From early morning sessions with national-level wrestlers to ongoing work with elite fighters, Carolyn reflects on a stretch of coaching that emphasized movement structure, positional strength, and the mindset needed to turn practice into competition success.
