Hi, I'm Joe Howard, a wrestling coach deeply rooted in Tucson, Arizona. Growing up in this vibrant community has given me a profound appreciation for the values of support and camaraderie, which I strive to embody through my work. I’m the proud owner of a small gym, a place dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for young athletes to thrive.

My journey in coaching started at an early age, a calling that has only deepened over the years. Working with my own children, each of whom has been an athlete, has been a profound honor. Witnessing their growth and development, both on and off the mat, has reinforced my dedication to fostering a nurturing environment for every child stepping into our academy.

As a dedicated believer in Jesus Christ, my faith is the cornerstone of my life and work. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” This scripture speaks to the deeper struggles and challenges we face in life. It drives me to teach not just physical techniques but also resilience, integrity, and the strength to overcome obstacles, reflecting the values that guide my own life.

Whether you’re a seasoned wrestler or new to the sport, my goal is to help you achieve your best while fostering a strong sense of community and mutual support. Let’s work together to reach new heights, build character, and create a lasting impact, guided by the faith and principles that inspire me each day.
