2019 NWCA Convention

Manheim, PA – Fort Lauderdale once again played host to 400-plus wrestling coaches, exhibitors, and wrestlers as they gathered for the NWCA’s 2019 Annual Convention at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center, August 2-4. This year’s title sponsors were Cliff Keen, Defense Soap and Resilite. In the two days leading up to the convention, 59 men’s and women’s college coaches attended the 11th Annual Collegiate CEO Leadership Academy, which is presented by the US Marine Corps. The participants were led by Dr. Dan Gould of Michigan St. while being paired with longtime successful coaches who served as mentors. Hearing messages of leadership from active duty Marines is always a highlight of this event and this year United State Marines Corps, Col. David Fallon, did not disappoint as he spoke to the similarities between wrestlers and Marines.

For the fourth consecutive year that the convention broke records for the number attendees. “We are so grateful that our member coaches make the commitment to attend this event each and every year,” said Executive Director, Mike Moyer. “We were excited to grow the convention into some new areas as we worked with the NWOA to host an inaugural Officials Summit, gave MYWAY a platform to host their yearly board meeting, as well as host the Division III Hall of Fame Banquet.” Convention attendees had access to over 20 hours of presentation and technique as well as three engaging Keynote speakers in Aaron Grossman (Kickoff Breakfast), Dave Bunning (Honors Luncheon), and Alan Nero (Awards Luncheon).
