Next Level Wrestling School to Open January 2013 in Knoxville, TN
Former WWE Development Head Coach/Trainer, Dr. Tom Prichard to Head Program
Knoxville, TN – Next Level Training is pleased to announce it will offer “The Next Level Wrestling School” with Dr. Tom Prichard. Prichard is the former Head of Training for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Along with two days a week of in-ring training, the wrestlers will receive a three-day a week sport specific workout regimen from the Owner of Next Level Training, former WWE Developmental Wrestler Devin Driscoll.
Next Level Training, located at 11210 Outlet Drive in Knoxville, will have a grand opening/open house on Thursday January 3, 2012 at 7 p.m. for anyone interested in training for professional wrestling. The public is invited to come and learn about what will be offered in the plan as well as what it takes to learn professional wrestling.
Next Level Training is the leader in performance enhancement training in East Tennessee and is home to a 21,000 square foot training center where thousands of high school, collegiate, and professional athletes have trained since its inception in 2006. The training that will be provided in conjunction with the wrestling school is the most specific “professional wrestling” workout regimen in the country and is something no other wrestling school is currently offering. All the wrestlers will be tested initially on their strength, agility, quickness and flexibility. The wrestlers will then be trained based on their individual deficiencies. The wrestlers will also have a registered dietitian, physical therapist and supplementation expert at their disposal. Other training methods that will be involved include a hyperbaric chamber for recovery and metabolic testing. All progress will be tracked though usage of a bod pod and monthly testing.
Prichard has been in the wrestling business for over 30 years and was the first Head Coach for the WWE developmental system in Stamford, CT beginning from 1996-2004. He returned as Head Coach for Deep South Wrestling in McDonough, GA. and later in Tampa, FL from 2007-2012. He has trained and helped develop superstars including The Rock, Edge, Christian, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Wade Barrett, Heath Slater and many more. Prichard has been responsible, or has had a hand in training and developing, talent for WWE for the last 16 years.
