Our Mission:
To develop the full potential of all of its members, on the mat, in the gym and in life’s arena.
The Overcomer Training Center (O.T.C.) aims to make a lifelong impact on its athletes through the benefits and skills acquired by participating in the sport of wrestling and committing to leading a healthy, fit lifestyle. We believe that the sport of wrestling builds an uncommon combination of character traits that lead to enhanced social and personal development, which ultimately will change the trajectory of their lives.
Our Vision:
To mentor students by focusing on character development in the following areas: accountability, grit, self-discipline, mental toughness and growth mindset.
O.T.C. is founded on the principle that character can be grown in all students, and seeks to reduce the achievement gap because of underdeveloped skills in these areas, which are the foundation for setting students on the path of lifelong success. Research-based strategies will be used to address the following topics: peer pressure, decision making, bullying, stereotypes, racism, and goal setting. Through use of the sport of wrestling, physical fitness, incentives and positive reinforcements to make connections with our at-risk students, we hope to turn them into responsible, persevering young adults.
Our Core Values:
Grit: When you combine your passion for success with perseverance good things will happen to you.
Self-discipline: Controlling your actions, thoughts and feelings so they align with your goals
Mental toughness: The ability to resist, manage and overcome doubts, worries, concerns and circumstances that prevent you from succeeding , or excelling at a task or towards an objective or a performance outcome that you set out to achieve
Growth Mindset: Believing we can get smarter (and better at something) through hard work and the use of good strategies.
