Testimonials.

WrestlingIQ is simple and efficient. We’ve worked with a number of different software systems and WrestlingIQ is by far the best.  The WrestlingIQ team does a phenomenal job and make themselves accessible to us for whatever needs we have. We couldn’t be more pleased with our move to WrestlingIQ. I highly recommend it to any coach who has a program or is looking to start one.

Donnie DeFilippis, Yale St Wrestling Club

As head of mentoring and coaching for Beat the Streets Cleveland, having a software program that can manage over a hundred kids and twenty coaches is paramount in our success with communication and data collection. WrestlingIQ has been an asset to our procedures, routines, and ability to implement training at all levels. Remarkably, every problem we have ever had with Wrestling IQ has been addressed and updated promptly. Currently, the software is better than ever and functions for all of our program’s needs. I am thoroughly impressed by the WIQ support staff for their attention to the detail and knowledge of what is required to run an effective wrestling program.

Anthony Spooner, Beat The Streets Cleveland

As a one-stop shop for our practice and competition calendars, videos, messaging, fundraisers, booster club payments, and more, WrestlingIQ has proven to be extremely valuable in keeping the 200+ wrestlers, parents, and coaches in our program aligned and moving forward in the same direction.

Ray Blake, Head Coach, Bixby HS

I used MindBody for nearly a decade, but it was clunky and clearly not designed for a wrestling club. WrestlingIQ delivered exactly what I had always wished existed—an intuitive, wrestling-specific system that works seamlessly for any club; from nonprofit programs to multi-location for-profit operations and everything between.Your Content Goes Here

Wrestling has been part of my life since I was a toddler cheering on the junior high team my dad coached. By the end of my career at Stanford in 2012, wrestling had changed my life. I graduated with a degree in Computer Science, but after a decade of working in tech I was disillusioned with startups and the culture surrounding them. WrestlingIQ was born out of my desire to give wrestling teams technology they can leverage to run an operationally efficient organization.
