FREE Sports Psychology Course for Wrestling Coaches with Sara McMann — June 27, 2026

June 21, 2026 By MatTime

Free Sports Psychology Course for Coaches — One Day Only

Sara McMann — 2004 Olympic Silver Medalist in wrestling, longtime UFC veteran, former UFC Bantamweight title challenger, and personal coach to Olympic Gold Medalist Amit Elor at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games — is offering a one-time FREE Sports Psychology course for wrestling coaches on Saturday, June 27, 2026.

This is a course that typically runs $2,000. Sara is donating her time to give wrestling, MMA, and BJJ coaches the frameworks and tools she's used at the highest levels of the sport — Olympic, NCAA, and professional MMA.

If you coach combat athletes and you've ever watched a kid tighten up under the lights, lose belief mid-match, or self-destruct in the third period — this is the day to fix that.

Three Sessions — One Course

This course is split into three sessions so coaches can fit it around their schedule. Each session is a complete three-hour block — here are the times:

  • Session 1 — 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM
  • Session 2 — 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM
  • Session 3 — 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM

What You'll Learn

Sara will cover the mental skills that separate good athletes from great ones — and more importantly, how to teach them inside your wrestling room or gym:

  • Motivation — how to build internal drive that holds up when results don't come right away
  • Resilience — recovering from losses, bad rounds, and tough cuts without losing identity
  • Self-Talk — the inner dialogue that decides what an athlete does under fatigue and pressure
  • The Zone — getting athletes into peak performance state on command, not by accident

Event Details

  • Date — Saturday, June 27, 2026
  • Location — Precision Academy, 6412 Tupelo Drive, Citrus Heights, CA
  • Who — All wrestling coaches, plus MMA and BJJ coaches welcome
  • Cost — FREE (typically a $2,000 course)
  • To Reserve — DM Sara on Instagram at @SaraMcMann

Why This Matters

Technique gets a wrestler to the bracket. The mental game decides what happens once they're in it. Sara has lived both sides of this — fighting for an Olympic gold medal final, headlining UFC pay-per-views, and now in the corner for the next generation of Team USA.

MatTime is sharing this because we believe the coaching community in Northern California should hear about it. We're not running this event — Precision Academy and Sara are. But if you coach any combat sport in the Sacramento, Placer, or Bay Area region, this is a rare chance to learn directly from someone operating at the Olympic level.

Don't sit on it. Spots are limited, the offer is one-time, and these slots will fill quickly once it spreads.

Reserve Your Spot

Spots are limited and going fast. DM Sara directly on Instagram to lock in your session — this is normally a $2,000 course offered free, one time only.
