The data shows that a majority of kids will spend only three years playing a sport before they quit. The reasons may vary but many times it is due to financial pressures, bad coaching, or lack of enjoyment. As a coach for the sport of Taekwondo, we see many kids quit martial arts after one coach or having reached a certain level. It is unfortunate that these individual were not able to experience a team that rose above the norm, never got to see the value in the life lessons learned through competition, and never got to expand themselves to their fullest potential.
Our goal at Versus Sport Taekwondo is to help people achieve their potential. We know that not every martial arts school offers high-level training and that the majority of the time, students who stop martial arts never go back, usually because of boredom or a lack of challenge. While this unfortunately mirrors the statistics for sports in general, we feel like with the right environment, the right training, and the right team, kids that may have once wanted to stop, will now begin to thrive and to eventually see themselves rise to challenges bigger than they once imagined.
Versus Sport Taekwondo is a high-performance training center that has developed some of the best Taekwondo players in the United States. Having developed 10+ US National Team Members, at all levels, our staff and coaches know how to bring out the best in our athletes. From elite level training offered daily, to cross-training opportunities with national team coaches nationwide, our team is ready to provide the opportunity you need to rise to the challenge and take your game to the next level.
We are ready, are you?
Having spent 10 years as a competitor, and now almost 15 years more in the coaches chair, Coach Wilson has amassed one of the best coaching records in the midwest. Having put together some of the best Taekwondo teams, the team continues to set records, and achieve results that no team in the Kansas City area can match.
“It isn’t just about competition. The thrill of the chase, the excitement drives me to continue helping athletes achieve their goals. We make sure that it isn’t just about winning or losing, but that each individual is striving for their own personal greatness. From experience, I know that everyone can dig a little deeper, and that a higher level of success is laying in wait. My goal as a coach is to help these athletes unlock that potential so that they can utilize that for the rest of their lives.
- Coach Wilson
The team concept is not one widely found in the Kansas City area. Most martial arts schools will have a sparring class or an upgrade program for people to add on a day of sparring. Versus Sport Taekwondo is the areas only school with a dedicated program to helping athletes reach their competition goals while getting stronger, more focused, and more confident in their abilities.
“I loved Coach Wilson’s attention to detail and how he grew his relationships with his athletes. He doesn’t treat you like a regular high school athlete who is in and out in a few years. He takes the time to get to know his athletes and work with them one-on-one. In addition, I not only learned a lot sparring, but also about sport-specific performance and fitness. ”
