Attitude Over Ability with J Robinson

September 30, 2025 • By Wrestling Coaches Insider

Watch as Coach J Robinson explains that while skill is obviously important, as a coach you should be looking for wrestlers with attitude. A wrestler with the proper attitude is easier to develop and to deal with the ups and downs, and this is key to having a competitive squad.

-----------------

J Robinson, National Wrestling Hall of Fame Member, founded JROB Intensive Camps in 1978 and has trained over 60,000 wrestlers with a unique philosophy focusing on physical prep, mental toughness, and life skills development. He was a former assistant coach at the University of Iowa, 3x NCAA Champion Head Coach at University of Minnesota, United States Olympian, and Vietnam Veteran. He used his training as an Army Airborne Ranger as the inspiration for his camp system. Sadly, JROB Intensive Camps closed in 2021, mainly caused by the pandemic and inability to relaunch.
