Greg Strobel “Make A Weight” Challenge Starts Feb 10!
USA
Wrestling, in partnership with the Greg Strobel Leadership Academy
announces the Greg Strobel ‘Make A Weight’ 30-Day Challenge. Plan now to
participate in the challenge by signing up and getting pledges. The
challenge begins Wednesday, February 10, 2021.
Greg Strobel was an outstanding athlete, coach, mentor and ambassador to
the sport of wrestling. The teachings and life lessons he left behind
are profound, including the value he placed on creating a “Lifetime of
Good Habits”.
Every year Greg challenged himself to make his college wrestling weight
to demonstrate the importance of Discipline, Accountability and
Consistency, while also enriching the lives of others by fostering
positive relationships, making connections, and creating a Family
atmosphere within the wrestling communities he served.
To honor his commitment of creating and teaching others a Lifetime of
Good Habits, the Greg Strobel ‘Make A Weight’ 30-day Challenge has been
named in his honor. Funds raised will go directly to the Greg Strobel
‘Beyond the Mat’ National Teams Leadership Academy, which has been
created to continue Greg’s legacy of teaching others and unleashing
human potential in all areas of life for current and future National
Team athletes.
Founded on the core beliefs of one of our sports greatest athletes and
coaches, the Greg Strobel Leadership Academy is a training and
development program focused on supporting our Senior Level USA Wrestling
Athletes by learning, discussing, and sharing experiences around the
core values of family, accountability, discipline, and creating a
lifetime of good habits. Funds raised for this program will directly
support the development of curriculum, a guest lecture series, and other
program expenses. Similar programs are in development for our USA
Wrestling young adult and 12U age groups.
The 30-Day Challenge will run from Wednesday, February 10 – Thursday, March 11, 2021.
Get involved
Sign-up and get your ‘Family’ of donors to contribute to the fundraiser! Click HERE to register your participation.
The goal is a minimum of 10 donors to sponsor your fundraising efforts –
either per pound, total pounds lost, or a flat donation.
Choose a goal weight.
With a 4 – 8 lb. weight loss goal over 30 days, this challenge is about
creating healthy habits through consistency and goal setting. USA
Wrestling recommends no more than 1 - 2 pounds weight loss per week. If
you have a very low percentage of body fat, those numbers could be
lower. If you ever have doubts on how much weight you can safely lose in
30 days, we recommend consulting your physician to determine a safe
weight loss plan.
Coach Strobel would make his college weight class every year on his
birthday. It was his way of ensuring he was disciplined and as tough as
the day he won his NCAA title, as well as showing the athletes he
coached that he practiced what he preached.
Create a workout plan that fits your lifestyle
For the duration of the challenge, the goal is to work out a minimum of 3
– 6 times per week. You pick the duration and type of workout that best
suits your lifestyle and goals.
“Coach always told us we needed to continue working out when we finished
our wrestling careers and suggested that we work out 6 days a week for
our lifetime.” As athletes he would say that, “we were practicing to win
matches, but also working to create a lifetime of good habits.”
Hold yourself accountable
Post one or more times per day on social media using #StrobelStrong.
Be creative – post your daily workout routines, healthy eating tips and
ideas, current weight loss achievements, a story about the Strobel
Family, a picture of the Strobel’s, or anything you believe ties to the
spirit of the challenge would be appropriate.
