My methods

I have been have been mentored by some of the greatest coaches in the world. I travel internationally learning from different coaches and athletes, integrating many unique approaches into my own.

The most important variable is that I have a curriculum. My curriculum has been successfully tested to develop wrestlers to a high level rapidly. My curriculum is unique and fun, but also tough. I pride myself in fostering a love for the sport and accelerated development in my athletes. The Mat Sense Curriculum entails everything from technical proficiency, strength and conditioning, to mindset and competition tools.

How do we start working together?

You can schedule a private lesson, hire me to work with your team or small group, schedule a seminar at your gym or school, subscribe to my monthly curriculum, or attend one of my training camps.

Thank you

Coach Jason Lara
