All the years of King of the Mountain Takedown training are showing their value on the high school wrestling stage.

As a freshman, Kivian debuted in her first varsity tournament, finishing 4-1 with 3 pins and only falling short in the championship match against a senior.

As a proud Dad and Jiu-Jitsu Instructor, it’s been rewarding to witness her growth—not just as an athlete but as a disciplined and determined individual.

From meticulously managing her diet to dropping 5 pounds in a week to make weight and waking up at 5:30 AM for early practices before school, she’s learning to embrace the mindset of a professional and the “There’s no glory without sacrifice” attitude.

A shoutout to her coaches at @heritage_patriots_wrestling 🤼‍♀️

Keep it up, young lady! 💪🏼
