My name is Justin Bennett and I am a Cache Valley local born and raised.  I grew up in the heart of Logan on Center Street and attended Logan High. I am 36 years young, married to my high school sweet heart, and I have 5 busy kids (I boy and 4 girls).  I had an amazing childhood with amazing parents!  I grew up experiencing many adventures from hunting, Skiing (on the snow and water), riding motorcycles, snowmobiling, and pretty much anything else that gets your adrenalin pumping.  And I would have to say that Wrestling, my all-time favorite sport, is a sure-fire way to get adrenalin pumping!  

When it comes to my career in Wrestling, I am what you would call a late bloomer.  I did not find my passion for wrestling until I was a Sophomore in High School, but once I discovered it, I was hooked and have been ever since!!!  Wrestling not only was a ton of fun but it taught me so much about hard work, dedication, team work, and how to listen with real intent.  I had amazing teammates and coaches that helped me learn and develop a ton!  It did not matter to the team what my history was or how long I had been a wrestler.  They showed me that if I put in the hard work and left everything I had on the mat, I would have what it takes to be a “wrestler”.  

All though my high school wrestling experience was short, it has influenced me to be the man I am today. I find great joy in helping young athletes reach their personal goals, learn more about wrestling, and most importantly show them that if they find their passion, dig deep, never quit, and have a positive attitude they will be unstoppable!

 

Wrestling builds character!!!  I am so honored to be a part of the Green Canyon Wrestling Team!  I take this very seriously and look forward to growing as a coach and a wrestler as I have the opportunity to mentor and coach these fine athletes.
