COACH PARKER

Coach Parker grew up in Wisconsin and began wrestling at the young age of six. His passion for the sport fueled an impressive high school career as a 2x All-Regional, 2x All-Sectional athlete, 2x Regional Champion, 2x Sectional Champion, and WIAA State Qualifier. After high school, he continued his wrestling journey at Rochester Technical College in Minnesota, competing at the collegiate level before joining the U.S. Army.

During his military career, Parker earned a spot on the prestigious All-Army Greco-Roman Wrestling Team (2019–2020), where he trained and competed among some of the nation’s best. His coaching career soon followed—spanning internationally and domestically. He spent two years coaching high school wrestling in Europe and served as a coach for the German Youth Olympic Team in Saarbrücken. Upon returning to the U.S., he continued to shape young athletes as a coach for Oregon High School in Wisconsin.

Now leading Parker’s Wrestling Club in Temple, Texas, Coach Parker brings a lifetime of wrestling knowledge, international experience, and military discipline to the mat. His mission is to help athletes of all levels reach their full potential—physically, mentally, and competitively—while instilling the values of hard work, confidence, and perseverance.
