Serving these kids has been part of my mission from Day 1

I want them all to thrive, having access to the kind of professional coaching and resources most youth athletes don’t get until it’s too late.

It’s one thing to perform at their best, it’s another to stay healthy enough to transition into adult hood where their peak is decades away

The goal isn’t just a great youth career. It’s a lifetime on the mats. I want them to be athletes for life, not just as kids.

Together with @sektorbjj, we’re building the future of youth grappling, all under one roof. Mat work, strength, injury prevention, all in one house.

Forging stronger futures ⚒️

There are so few of you in this division, you’ve already won something just by making it here.

To be one of the few kids competing at this level, in this age, weight and belt division says so much about the years of work it took to get here. The early mornings, late nights, hard rounds, losses, wins and everything in between.

No matter what happens when you step on that mat, I hope you always understand how special it is to even be standing there.

I’m so proud of you, Devin. Keep showing up, keep working, and keep enjoying every part of this journey. I’ll always be your biggest supporter.

All I do is make myself cry 😭😭❤️

It’s been growing for the past 2 years and the results are showing for these Padawans

Elite level coaching on the mats, in the weight room and a BJJ rehab specialist on site will be the standard in the next decade

But right now this team is setting the bar for what youth grappling looks like as this space is 1 of a kind

Stronger, and more resilient, keeping these kids safe as they push themselves to be the best athletes they can be

We are creating the environment that we as kids could only dream of

MOM POST!! 🥹❤️

Looking back now, it’s hard to believe we almost didn’t do Pan Kids.

Just a few weeks before registration closed, we made the decision to take a chance. We knew it would mean more training, better nutrition, extra conditioning, private lessons, sacrifices, and a lot of faith. It wasn’t just about signing up for a tournament—it was about showing Devin that he belonged on one of the biggest stages in youth jiu-jitsu.

More than anything, Vee and I wanted Devin to see what we’ve always seen. We wanted him to know that he belonged there. We’ve always believed in him and in what he’s capable of, and we hoped this experience would help him believe it too.

The reason we were able to make that decision is because of the people in these photos.

Every one of these coaches played a part in giving Devin the confidence to step onto those mats. They challenged him, believed in him, invested their time, shared their knowledge, and reminded him that he was capable. They helped prepare him physically, mentally, and emotionally for a moment we almost let pass by.

Devin fought his way through the bracket and made it all the way to the finals. He performed amazingly, earned a silver medal, and lost to a talented opponent.

Making it to the finals at one of the toughest youth tournaments in the world is something he should always be proud of. But what makes Vee and me the proudest is that he walked away knowing he was exactly where he was supposed to be.

Thank you to every coach who has poured into Devin. Thank you for believing in him when the goal seemed far away, for pushing him when he needed it most, and for helping shape not just a better competitor, but a better young man ❤️

Harper,

I’ve had the pleasure of being both your teammate and your coach, and what you had to endure this last year I wouldn’t wish on anybody. No young athlete should have to go through the injury that you did.

Right off the jump, when things were already scary and at their worst, you had people in your ear telling you to quit the sport you love so much, after being number one in the world.

From our very first evaluation, you told me you wanted to be back at Pans and winning again, and there was not a doubt in my mind that you’d get there. You were patient when you needed to be patient, and you pushed when you needed to be pushed. You listened to every single thing I said without question, and you gave it your one hundred percent from our first session together up until our last weightlifting workout before Kids Pans.

No one will ever truly know what you went through this last year to get back to the top of the podium. They’re only going to see the medals. They’re only going to see that you’re the back-to-back champ. But I got to be right there with you through all of it, and that kind of perseverance and endurance you showed this last year is something you’ll carry for the rest of your life.

I’m so incredibly proud of you, words will never begin to explain it.

Nolyn,

You’ve improved so much this last year. Lifting weights was pretty foreign to you when we first started, and seeing you grow now and hit these teenage years, I’ve had the pleasure of watching you compete in person, and you have completely changed.

Every time we’re in the weight room, you’re developing, you’re improving, and you take everything I say and are so tactical with it. I see that show up on the mats, and I see it in the weight room. It’s really awesome to watch you push.

You may not be perfect at it right away, but I know without a doubt that if I teach you something, you’ll be excellent at it in some period of time. You listen to everything I say and you just do it. No questions, no complaints.

Watching you become more of a physical menace has been really fun. I see your confidence growing. You can handle guys who are bigger than you, and maybe even a little better at jiu-jitsu
