In 2014, we put together one of our greatest Junior World Teams ever: Moody (50kg), Gilman (55kg), McKenna (60kg), Pico (66kg), Valencia (74kg), Dean (84kg), Snyder (96kg), Coon (120kg). When all was said and done, Team USA took 2nd in the world as a team and came back with 5 medals in 7 weight classes. The boys went into Croatia "prepared to fight."
Prepared To Fight: Zagreb (Episode 1)
Oct 1, 2014
In episode one of 'Prepared to Fight' we land in Croatia with the US Junior World Team and get down to Junior Worlds action almost right away. Starring two World Team veterans, Joey McKenna and Kyle Snyder, and one new-comer, Anthony Valencia, the episode takes us through weigh ins, the bracket draws and day one competition vs international competition. All is going to plan until defending Junior World Champion, Kyle Snyder, finds himself clawing his way through a match vs a round one opponent and a biased official.
