Coach Bormet's Competitive Accomplishments

   What is different about the training and instruction at Overtime?
First and foremost, the instruction at the Overtime School of Wrestling is comprehensive and of high quality.  It is composed of technique that has a high scoring percentage at all levels of wrestling, while emphasizing subtle details.  This is important since continued success is increasingly determined by solid technique and an overall ability to wrestle as competitors move up in age levels.  Second, some of the best wrestlers train with other top grade school and high school wrestlers and have exposure to highly ranked college wrestlers and elite senior wrestlers.  Third, Coach Bormet has wrestling and coaching experience at all levels, including college and elite international competition.  He has the ability to recognize and correct subtle mistakes in technique that might easily be overlooked.  Finally, the training and instruction offered at Overtime can guide a wrestler's development from grade school to high school, through college, and on to the elite level.

   Why not just participate in a local kid's program or at my high school?
A student seeking to be a champion should participate in a local or school program while also receiving supplemental training like that offered at Overtime.  Wrestlers pursuing excellence in the sport should utilize all training and instruction opportunities that are geared toward motivated competitors and will contribute to their success on the mat.

   What is the difference between attending various camps/clinics for extra training and   attending classes at Overtime?
Camps and clinics are useful for learning technique, tune-ups, or gaining exposure to a specific clinician's style, but cannot substitute for consistent instruction and competitive mentoring through personalized training.  It is difficult to get individual attention and quality focused instruction at some of the large camps and clinics.  The training and instruction at Overtime is methodical, comprehensive, and geared toward establishing and building a strong foundation of advanced drilling, technique, and mental preparation.  Moreover, class size is limited to ensure quality instruction with well-matched workout partners for intensity.

   Why should I send my son to the Overtime School of Wrestling?
The primary reason to send a student to the Overtime School of Wrestling lies in  the importance of having positive and rewarding experiences while  training and preparing for competition.  Wrestling is a sport that can build strong self-discipline, individual composure, and solid character if a coach seeks to bring out the best in his students in a constructive way.  The staff at Overtime believe that teaching and learning in this way will benefit students both on and off the mat throughout life.  Additionally, Overtime provides one of  the best opportunities available for a wrestler to realize his greatest potential and pursue his highest goals for achievement in the sport of wrestling.  Students gain the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that comes with working hard and getting results.
