My name is Les Lieurance. I grew up a wrestler and I believe that wrestling is the greatest sport in the world. In high school, I wrestled under Andrew Niemczyk in Beloit Kansas and under Ernie Jones at Daniel Webster in Tulsa, OK. I look back and realize how much of an honor it was to be coached by these coaches.

Wrestling has had a huge part in molding me into the person that I am today. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that most people who wrestle, will not wrestle in college. I’ve come to the conclusion that wrestling imitates life. Wrestling teaches people about life…. How to work hard, how to set goals for your self, How to handle your victories, How to handle your losses, and How to be self-disciplined. These are essential qualities to have as an adult. For those that have wrestled, you are part of a brotherhood that most people will never understand.

Combining My Two Passions — Wrestling and Programming

As an adult, I decided to become a web developer. I have been a programmer for almost twenty years. About five years ago, I noticed that there weren’t any wrestling club websites that really catered to a wrestling club. I decided to use my love of wrestling and my programming capabilities to create a website that helps people better run a wrestling club.

My Involvement in Wrestling

I have been involved with wrestling for about 30 years. I wrestled all the way through high school, but I was part of the majority that didn’t wrestle in college. I had the ability to wrestle at the next level, but I chose a different path.

For the last 15 years, I have been blessed to watch my son wrestle. He recently graduated high school and is wrestling in college. I started this website when my son started wrestling at 5 years old. This website has been a labor of love and I do my best to add new content when I’m not working or taking care of my family.
