Ben Swarr
Area Rep
Why FCA Wrestling?
“I chose FCA Wrestling because I attended an FCA Wrestling partnership camp in high school where God transformed my faith and convicted me to go deeper in my walk with Him. I also have personally experienced the power of a three-dimensional coach that mentored me in my faith. I believe in the vision and mission of FCA Wrestling and I have seen the incredible amount of influence that coaches can have over their athletes in all aspects of life. I want others to know that their identity is not defined by their performance on the mat or in the corner, but by their relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God.”
