Welcome to John Degl’s Iowa Style Wrestling!

OUR MISSION:

           At Iowa Style Wrestling, we do not measure success with medals or trophies. We believe that an individual is successful when he continually commits to close the gap between his performance and his potential and when he understands that such a commitment represents a way of life, not merely a means to an end. Iowa Style Wrestling provides the tools that student-athletes need in order to undertake such commitments. Success is a journey and not a destination.

OUR GOAL:

At Iowa Style Wrestling, our goal is to use wrestling as a vehicle to promote a healthy lifestyle.  Wrestling provides young men with mental tools to approach life in a positive “can do” manner.  Obstacles are looked at as challenges by wrestlers not problems.  Excuses are not part of our culture.

The Ultimate goal is to be a better person, to leverage the lessons learned by wrestling into meaningful opportunities and to grow as a human being.

Seeking a higher level is a natural consequence of being a wrestler, to that end wrestling can open doors at elite colleges and to jobs that otherwise would be closed.

All are of no value unless they are followed by action.” by Og Madino.

dimension” by Oliver Wendell Holmes.

On February 16, 2004 my brother, Teague, passed away at our home from Sudden Cardiac Death. It has been very hard to grow up without Teague in my life. It has inspired me to do something to help other families. It makes me feel really good knowing every dollar I raise is used for treatment and research for kids like Teague with sick hearts.

This will be my last year to do jump rope for heart since I’m in fifth grade so I have set my goal very high. My goal is to raise $10,000 this year. You can help, too – will you make a donation to my Jump Rope For Heart efforts? It’s fast and easy to do on my personal Web page! Just use the link below.
