“We made the choice to train exclusively at PSF Headquarters in Mt Vernon, IL about a year ago. One of the biggest reasons was for this was Alejandro Wajner, Michael Pixely, and the rest of the PSF Wrestling Academy. My daughter has prepared for two ADCC Trials, Kids Worlds, and won the Chicago Open Advanced -50kg division. Her wrestling was non-existent before Dro and Pixely. This has added dimensions to her jiu-jitsu game and made her well rounded. They have traveled for my daughter and never asked for a dime. They even put on a seminar in a heavily impoverished area free of charge for the community. Without the PSF Wrestling Academy, she would have never evolved into one of the most accomplished teens in the United States.”

“My PSF experience started 8 years ago when I was 10. Coach Alejandro (Coach Dro) had his first ever wrestling camp. The first day of camp they were overly welcoming and supportive. The camp was 4 days a week 4 hours a day for 4 weeks and let me tell you after that camp I had never been in such good shape. Not only was I in good shape, I had also had never been tested mentally like that before. I had never worked so hard in my life.
I continued occasionally going there to wrestle. My sophomore year of high school I found out Coach Dro and Coach Pixley were going to be my wrestling coaches. Shortly after the high school season Coach Dro approached me asking if I wanted to try freestyle wrestling. He told me he was launching an official wrestling academy at PSF. My first wrestling tournament under PSF Wrestling was Northern Plains,a national qualifying event where the top 6 qualify for the national championships in Fargo, North Dakota. I placed 4th qualifying for Fargo.
Without Coach Dro and Coach Pixley’s dedication to my wrestling success I would never be who I am today. It is not all about the wrestling; they taught me life skills such as hard work, perseverance, and dedication to what you wish to achieve.”

“PSF Wrestling has been a transformative experience for our son, instilling in him a profound sense of discipline and patience that extends beyond the mat. Through the challenges of competition, he's learned the invaluable lessons of humility in both victory and defeat,
understanding that life is a blend of wins and losses. The camaraderie he's developed with teammates has boosted his social skills and filled him with pride and self-worth. I am wholeheartedly committed to keeping him in wrestling throughout his entire school career, as it fosters a deep respect for both his elders and peers, shaping him into a well-rounded individual. Thank you, PSF Wrestling, for your incredible impact on our lives!”

“I can’t say enough about how PSF Wrestling Academy has transformed my son! Not only is he becoming one of the best wrestlers in the state, but this training is shaping him into an all-around athlete. The skills he’s gaining here are propelling him to excel in other sports too!
The coaches—Coach Pix, Coach Dro, and Coach Dom—are absolutely amazing! They go above and beyond, showing up at other events in the kids' lives, not just wrestling. They are excellent role models, teaching personal responsibility and the value of hard work and commitment.
The mental and emotional resilience my son is developing is incredible; he’s learning to face challenges head-on, both on and off the mat. Plus, this academy is building his leadership skills and instilling a strong sense of discipline and accountability.
What I love most is how PSF brings together kids from all walks of life, fostering friendships and teamwork that transcend backgrounds and cultures. I couldn’t ask for a better environment for my son’s growth, both as an athlete and a young man!”
