Book a Clinic with Coach Katherine Shai

Nearly a decade on Team USA. Over 30 years on the mat. Now working directly with programs that are ready to do something different.

You don't need to feel calm.
You don't need to feel confident.

You just need to do your job.

Katherine spent nearly a decade competing for Team USA, traveling the world to train and compete against the best in the sport. This is the coaching philosophy she built out of all of it.

ABOUT KATHERINE

Thirty years
on the mat.

Katherine grew up in a wrestling family. She learned the sport from her father, 2x Olympian Lee Allen, trained alongside her sister, National Team member Sara Bahoura, and watched her mother, Joan Fulp, help build opportunities for girls wrestling long before they were commonplace.

Her career took her from age-group competition to college wrestling and nearly a decade on the Senior National Team. She experienced every side of the sport. The wins, the losses, the injuries, the pressure, the expectations, and the moments that nearly ended her career.

Those experiences became the foundation of her coaching philosophy.

Today, programs across the country bring Katherine in because she doesn't just teach skills. She helps athletes build confidence, solve problems, compete freely, and create environments where wrestlers grow on and off the mat.

What the people are saying…

OMG this is a game changer. I used to either overtrain and feel wrecked or not do enough and stress out, but this actually gives me a plan that works. I wish I had this sooner!!
I don't know what you told her, but that was the best match of her life.

She pinned that girl being behind and now we're headed into semis!
Just wanted to make sure you saw that all the Victory girls made it to finals at state this year!! I think you had a big part in helping them build themselves up!
The mindset work you've been doing has been priceless! Just so thrilled to see them put it all together and have fun!
Thank you so much for everything you do. You're starting a revolution that is for the greater good of female athletes. You're so inspiring and amazing. I think you made a lot of the girls feel heard.
We've noticed a HUGE difference in her mindset from having you coached her. Thank you. 🙏

THE APPROACH

Wrestlers who own their training.

Katherine doesn't run a standard drill clinic. Every session is built around giving your athletes the tools, awareness, and habits they need to keep growing long after she leaves the room.

01
The Details That Matter

Every session zeroes in on the technical habits and blind spots that quietly hold wrestlers back. The focus is on small, specific adjustments that compound over a season — ones athletes can actually feel working.

02
The Whole Athlete

Mindset, weight management, recovery — and how athletes actually engage with the sport. Game-based training keeps wrestlers creative and genuinely having fun, building the kind of relationship with wrestling that lasts.

03
Wrestlers Who Own Their Career

The goal is independence — building the self-awareness, habits, and tools athletes need to keep growing on their own. Wrestlers who drive themselves, not ones who depend on being driven.
