Testimonials | KD Training Center

"I would not be where I am without the help from coach KD. He has helped in so many ways when it comes to wrestling. I really appreciate his coaching style and his dedication to his athletes. Truly one of the best coaches I have ever had."

"For the past five years, KD has made an extraordinary impact on my son’s life. His extensive knowledge of all areas of wrestling, his constant support and guidance has played a vital role in my son’s success on and off the mat. I highly recommend KD to all athletes that are willing to put in the work to achieve their goals. Lets Win!!"

"Coach Khaled is not only a great coach but a great person. He is selfless with his athletes and how he shares his time and commitment to them. To be a great coach I believe you have to be adaptive and wear many different hats from a motivator, to a friend, to a technician and beyond. Khaled does a great job wearing those multiple “hats” and continues to learn as the sport continues to evolve and he meets the different needs of his athletes as a one size fits all approach does not work for everyone. Khaled does not have an ego tied to his coaching style which allows him the ability to learn and improve upon what he already knows. He is a true student of the sport as he travels around the country to seek out wrestling knowledge from the best wrestling coaches and athletes the sport has to offer. He then brings the culmination of what he learned and all the different perspectives to his athletes, and I believe this is what makes him so unique and what separates him from many other coaches."

KD forms personal connections with the athletes he trains and genuinely cares about them. His “Let’s Win” mindset encourages his athletes to have mental toughness, builds confidence, and allows wrestlers to perform to their truest potential.

"Coach KD cares deeply about the success of every member in his wrestling community. The amount of communication, time commitment to each wrestler, and individualized support are unparalleled to any other sporting program that we have been a part of.

I have 2 boys who have wrestled for this program for over a year. Coach KD is a great motivator, his heart is in the right place, and you can tell he truly cares for his wrestlers. There is so much more to wrestling than the sport itself/technique....it is character building, humility, accountability, courage, physical & mental toughness, sportsmanship, respect, perseverance and so much more. I am truly thankful for this club and its positive influence in my boy’s lives.

This program is hands down one of the best!! Coach KD puts his time into these kids and is 110% committed to each and every one of them! I am also a coach with over 25 years of experience in the sport of wrestling and completely trust Coach KD with the development, physically, athletically, and emotionally of my boys. 5 stars aren’t enough...it exceeds all expectations"
