Formerly known as the Silver Program, SWA Hard Faught is the next step in athlete development at Sebolt Wrestling Academy.

The program is led by SWA’s newly hired full-time coach, Eric Faught, an original SWA alumnus who understands the Sebolt Wrestling system and knows how to teach it with consistency. Coach Faught brings an accomplished wrestling background to the room:

• UWW All-American
• World Team Trials finalist
• Fargo All-American
• High school state champion
• Collegiate national qualifier

More importantly, Coach Faught shares the mission and values of Sebolt Wrestling Academy. His focus is not simply on winning matches, it is on helping every athlete improve through individualized coaching, consistent instruction and long-term development.

SWA Hard Faught is designed for youth wrestlers who already have some experience and are ready to commit to continued growth but may not be ready for the SWA Elite Program just yet.

Athletes will develop stronger fundamentals, improve their technique, build confidence and learn the same proven system used throughout Sebolt Wrestling Academy.

Every athlete enters the room at a different stage. The mission of SWA Hard Faught is to meet wrestlers where they are, challenge them appropriately and help them take the next step in their development.
