Tanner's love for wrestling and Jiu-jitsu stems from the simple yet powerful link between effort and success. Beginning with boxing at age 7, Tanner gained a deep appreciation for the hard work and commitment required. Shifting to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and wrestling helped him find his true passion. Through countless hours of intense training and competition, Tanner has risen to the top of the country's wrestling and BJJ scene.
"I find motivation in the most unlikely places - people who aren't necessarily succeeding or trying hard. Their stories remind me that success is a journey, not a destination, and inspire me to keep pushing forward and becoming the best version of myself."
I'm proudest not of a specific moment, but of his unwavering commitment and dedication every day. From following a strict diet for optimal nutrition and weight management to making sacrifices like missing out on social events for training, and going to practice even when he's feeling unmotivated but never complaining. He's an extraordinary young man.
