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.
