THE SYSTEM
The Tirapelle System is something we never really had a name for during the boys' high school tenure. It was just a way of wrestling that I coached and that we all understood would lead to the most success with the least talent, the highest percentage of the time. All three of these factors are equally important. Those gifted athletically can have success easier and in a larger variety of ways. In addition, some styles lead to great temporary success but not sustained success, the kind of success required to win 5 tough matches in a row at the state tournament. Or, the sustained success for a style to transition from one age group to the next: junior high to high school, high school to college, college and beyond.
During Troy's run of state titles, many people came up and asked me the very same question: "Why have ALL of your boys had so much success with totally different body types and wrestling styles?" What I explained to each of them was the same each time. The principles were always the same; it just didn't have a name. It was Adam who finally sat down with all of us and figured out how to put the Tirapelle System down on paper, and thus be able to explain and share it more effectively with others.
We think now, after several years of fine tuning, we have a world class system that can adapt to all ages, styles, bodies, and natural talent levels. We have a truly effective and proven system of wrestling.
THE CAMP
Unlike most wrestling camps, all instructors share similar philosophies, strategies, training methods, tips and motivational techniques which results in a comprehensive wrestling style. The Tirapelle System Team Camp offers a unique blend of the high school coaching perspective and high school competition as well as the college coaching perspective and college competition -- each at the highest level. In addition, the brothers share the same “system” with totally different physiques--Adam, short and stocky; Alex, tall and thin; and Troy, a medium build--enabling them to share techniques with different body types.
THE OPPORTUNITY
In the summer of 2014, the Tirapelle Family completed their 12th year of Tirapelle System team camps. Our camps have been well received with participants experiencing outstanding success. Our primary goals are to share wrestling knowledge throughout California to give back to the sport that has given us so much. We will teach a coaching philosophy and a system of wrestling that will assist wrestlers and coaches become successful. You have the unique opportunity to learn a coaching and competition philosophy from the most successful wrestling family in California’s history. Don’t miss out on your chance to host a Tirapelle System Wrestling Team Camp.
