WORK FOR, BUY FROM, AND HIRE WRESTLERS

The Wrestlers in Business Network (WIBN) is a national nonprofit uniting everyone passionate about wrestling. Our mission is simple: leverage the shared values and connections built through wrestling to advance careers, grow businesses, foster personal development, and strengthen the sport we love. We connect major companies with our graduates—proven leaders shaped by the toughest sport—to build their best teams while getting them involved in supporting wrestling’s future.

 

What We Do

We help wrestlers achieve greatness—before, during, and long after their time on the mat.

Our mission is to build a powerful community that connects members, creates business and career opportunities nationwide, and leverages a talent-rich pipeline of wrestling alumni. The result? A cycle of success that drives reinvestment back into the sport we love.

 

Advancing Careers

Wrestlers make exceptional employees. The discipline, resilience, and competitive spirit forged on the mat prepare them to excel in any career. The Wrestlers in Business Network accelerates their success by connecting them with employers who value those qualities. Our dedicated job board and resume database link current and former wrestlers with companies eager to hire the best.

Developing Businesses

When it’s time to buy, start with a wrestler. The Wrestlers in Business Network Member Directory makes it easy to find thousands of wrestler-owned or wrestler-led businesses across the country. Local WIBN chapter events and national gatherings create even more opportunities to connect, build relationships, and support the wrestling community through business.

 
 

Personal Growth

WIBN fosters personal growth through the power of our local chapters and events. From networking sessions to keynote talks featuring world-class speakers like Dan Gable, Tom Ryan, Rep. Jim Jordan, Olympians, coaches, and top business leaders, members gain inspiration and actionable insights to grow personally and professionally. Many chapters also feature seasoned business leaders who openly share their expertise, creating a community built on learning, mentorship, and success.

Supporting the Sport

For many of us, wrestling is the foundation of who we are today. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same opportunities as programs across all levels continue to be cut. That’s why giving back to the sport that shaped us is more important than ever.

WIBN, as an extension of the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA)—an organization that has protected and reinstated over 400 college programs—champions wrestling’s future through advocacy, awareness, fundraising, and direct support for programs in need. Together, we ensure that wrestling remains strong for generations to come.

 

Non-Profit Helps College Wrestlers Connect and Network

WIBN builds upon the connection between current and former wrestlers, and its website allows student-athletes to create a profile, post a resume and engage with  business leaders who also competed in the sport. The group supports the sport of wrestling by helping college programs grow and prosper, organizing network receptions, holding All-Star tournaments and coordinating speaking events with wrestlers and coaches like Tom Ryan and Dan Gable, Olympic gold medalist.
