Elite Level Daily Use
"We use Shadow partner and Grip partner daily, and they’ve become staples in our training environment. ShadowPartner has been a game-changer for athletes returning from injury. It allows them to ease back into live motion safely while still building timing, positioning, and confidence. It can also be used regularly in 3-man groups during practice to keep everyone active and engaged, and our athletes also use it after practice for extra reps. It’s helped our wrestlers stay sharp without wearing down their bodies. Grip partner has been just as impactful. It’s incredible for developing hand strength and grip endurance l, two things that add value to your wrestling. Our team uses Grip Partner daily, and we’ve seen gains in mat control and pulling strength. If you’re serious about getting better, recovering smarter, and training at a higher level, then these tools need to be part of your routine." — Pat Santoro, Head Wrestling Coach, Lehigh University

💰 Investment Justification for Parents & Programs True ROI in performance outcomes – At the top levels of high school and college wrestling, one practice, one edge, or one extra day of reps can make the difference between winning a national championship or falling short. ShadowPartner closes that gap by allowing athletes to re-enter from injury or sickness much sooner. Reduces injury-related costs – Running for weight cuts often leads to shin splints and overuse injuries. Treatment typically costs $75–$300 per therapy session, with multiple visits often required. ShadowPartner delivers conditioning without the pounding, keeping athletes healthier and programs saving money. ROI for injury prevention and time loss due to sickness can be as little as a few months. Faster return-to-play from sickness or injury – Athletes not yet cleared for live contact can resume ShadowPartner training earlier, shortening recovery downtime and keeping them from losing their competitive edge. Maximizes tournament ROI – A single overnight tournament weekend often costs more than a ShadowPartner. Without preparation, athletes may wrestle only a few matches before elimination. ShadowPartner helps ensure tournament investments result in wins and rewarding experiences. Reduces reliance on private lessons – Creates hundreds of high-quality reps at home or in-room without $100/hr coaching costs. Shared resource – One XL ShadowPartner can be used by multiple athletes in a team setting, maximizing value across the roster. One-time purchase, lifetime use – Durable design ensures years of training return on investment.
🏋️ Performance & Training at the Highest Level Engineered for speed and agility – Lightweight design allows athletes to train with full explosiveness and precision. Muscle memory machine – Perfect for drilling high-rep movements until they become second nature. Eccentric + concentric training – Unique design enables athletes to build speed and control in every phase of a move. Rep volume at scale – Let's wrestlers get 100x more clean repetitions than they would in the practice room. We have found RTC athletes will drill hundreds of shot reps to improve speed and strength throughout specific moves. Technique consistency – Ensures athletes repeat moves correctly every time without the anticipation variables of a live partner.
🩹 Safety & Longevity Reduces injury risk – Eliminates collisions and awkward landings from live drilling. Protects athletes from burnout – High-intensity reps without the strain of constant live resistance. Keeps coaches healthy – Coaches don’t need to risk their bodies demonstrating at full speed. Safe for all athlete sizes – Enables lighter or newer wrestlers to train like advanced athletes without fear.
👩🎓 Program & Coaching Benefits Elevates practice efficiency – Coaches can assign independent drilling stations, multiplying effective reps per practice. This is especially important when a student has a poor habit that needs to be broken, or when offside move drilling of high repetitions is necessary to get to the next level. Perfect for size mismatch - often a group of three develops in practice, and efficiencies go down. This allows wrestlers to keep drilling even when they are the odd man out. Girls wrestling solution – Gives male coaches a professional way to demonstrate without awkward physical contact. Addresses beginner needs at the high school level – Many girls’ programs (and some boys’ teams) include a high percentage of athletes brand new to wrestling. ShadowPartner provides these beginners the same benefits it offers at the youth level: safe drilling, confidence building, and early wins that keep them engaged in the sport. Year-round development – Athletes stay sharp in the off-season with realistic movement reps at home or in the room.
🚀 Competitive Edge for Elite Programs Speed and reaction training – Improves shot speed, scramble transitions, and explosive movement patterns. Confidence through repetition – Athletes build the “auto-response” muscle memory needed to win under pressure. Warm-up advantage – On competition day, wrestlers can drill explosively without relying on a partner. Team-wide scalability – Works across entire rosters, giving every athlete access to structured, independent training.
🌟 Why Serious Wrestlers & Programs Choose ShadowPartner XL Highly engineered training device – Specifically designed for speed, agility, eccentric/concentric control, and muscle memory. Patented innovation – Nothing else on the market delivers this kind of realistic, repeatable training. Trusted by coaches and programs – Already being integrated at the high school and college level. Pat Santoro at Lehigh University says all levels of college and post-grad are using it daily. Even their RTC athletes are using it regularly. Program credibility – Shows athletes, parents, and recruits that your program invests in innovation and athlete success. Supports all levels in one program – Equally valuable for beginners who need safe confidence-building reps and for advanced wrestlers striving for elite performance.
🎓 High School Girls’ Wrestling (Beginner-Focused) Reduces awkwardness with male coaches – Allows male coaches to demonstrate moves without direct physical contact, avoiding uncomfortable or inappropriate situations. Supports first-time athletes – Many girls are new to wrestling at the high school level. ShadowPartner provides a safe, structured way to learn fundamentals without fear of injury or embarrassment. New wrestlers are bad workout partners. The ShadowPartner doesn’t fear getting hurt, so they won’t fall over on purpose or apply resistance to techniques. Confidence through early success – New athletes who experience constant losses often quit. ShadowPartner builds confidence by creating the muscle memory and reps they need to win early matches and stay engaged in the sport. Injury prevention – Beginners often get injured when drilling with stronger, more experienced partners. ShadowPartner eliminates that mismatch, protecting new athletes as they learn. Retention tool for programs – Girls who gain confidence and success early are far more likely to stay in wrestling, growing team size and stability.
🎓 College Women’s Wrestling (Advanced-Focused) Elite-level drilling – College athletes already have strong fundamentals. ShadowPartner XL allows them to sharpen speed, explosiveness, and agility through high-volume, high-quality repetitions. Maintains competitive edge – At the college level, one extra practice or a few more reps can be the difference between All-American honors and falling short. ShadowPartner provides those crucial repetitions on demand. Safe recovery and return-to-play – College athletes train at such intensity that injuries and illness are common. ShadowPartner enables faster return-to-practice, keeping elite wrestlers sharp even when they aren’t cleared for full contact. Reduces wear and tear – Limits reliance on running to get in shape and control weight that can cause overuse injuries, preserving athletes’ health through long seasons. Program recruiting advantage – Colleges with ShadowPartners demonstrate an investment in innovation and athlete development, making them more attractive to top female recruits. Championship ROI – At the national tournament level, one practice or one edge in speed and muscle memory can decide outcomes. ShadowPartner helps close that gap.

ShadowPartner Medium
💰 Investment in Your Wrestling Journey One-time purchase = lifetime use – Durable construction that lasts through years of training. Cheaper than a single away tournament or private lessons – Provides meaningful extra reps at home without $100/hr private coaching. Prevents expensive injuries – Avoid medical bills, time off, and lost seasons from training accidents. Family value – One ShadowPartner can be used by multiple kids in the household. Siblings often don’t get along when training for wrestling, but they always get along when the ShadowPartner is added to the training session. Maximizes tournament investment – One weekend at an overnight wrestling tournament can cost more than a ShadowPartner. If kids aren’t prepared, they may only wrestle a few matches before being eliminated. ShadowPartner helps them prepare better, making tournament travel more fruitful, fun, and rewarding.
🏆 Keeping Kids in the Sport Through Winning & Confidence Wrestling helps mold children into amazing, hard-working, dedicated, and respectful individuals, but winning makes wrestling fun. The fastest way to keep kids engaged is to help them win. When kids lose repeatedly, they quickly lose confidence and want to quit. ShadowPartner builds winners – It gives parents the ability to help their child train at home, building confidence and muscle memory faster than crowded practices allow, and with a fun focus on learning technique, not just winning. Real story of success – The ShadowPartner was invented because one parent’s daughter wasn’t winning. After one session of focused drilling on the ShadowPartner, she won her next match. That confidence shift kept her from quitting the sport. Solves the “sink or swim” problem – Wrestling rooms often have 50–80 kids with only a few coaches. Many kids get overlooked, left behind, or discouraged. ShadowPartner ensures your child gets the reps and attention they need—even outside the wrestling room. Parents as partners – With ShadowPartner, parents can actively help their kids overcome fear, gain confidence, and create the muscle memory that leads to victories. Reduces risk of kids quitting – Confidence from early wins means kids stick with wrestling, building resilience, character, and long-term success. ShadowPartners are fun. All ages of kids love them!
🏋️ Train Smarter, Not Just Harder Always have a partner – No need to wait for someone to drill with; ShadowPartner is ready whenever you are. Perfect for home training – Turn a garage, basement, or living room into a wrestling room. Repetition without resistance – Get hundreds of clean reps in without worrying about hurting or tiring out a live partner. Realistic feel – Built to mimic live resistance and body positioning so you can practice like it’s a real match.
🩹 Safety for You and Your Family No risk of accidental injuries – Parents and kids can train together without the danger of mismatched size or strength. Safer for youth wrestlers – Kids can practice moves full speed without being slammed, twisted, or hurt. Protects coaches, too – Older, injured, or out-of-shape coaches don’t need to risk their bodies showing moves. Alternative to running – Condition without pounding knees and shins—less chance of shin splints or overuse injuries.
🚀 Performance Edge Get ahead of the competition – While others wait for practice time, you’re putting in reps at home. Consistent training = faster improvement – Build technique and muscle memory quicker than relying only on partners. Confidence booster – Walk into practice and matches sharper, stronger, and more prepared. Works for all positions – Practice shots, sprawls, finishes, and transitions without needing a live partner.
🌟 Why Wrestlers, Parents, and Coaches Choose ShadowPartner Innovative, patented design – Not just another dummy; It's a partner highly engineered for real wrestling movements. Portable & practical – Medium size is ideal for homes, garages, and clubs. Trusted by coaches and programs – Already in use across high schools, colleges, and youth clubs. Coach Pat Santoro from Lehigh University says his wrestlers use theirs every day. No comparison – Nothing else on the market matches its function or feel. It can not be compared to wrestling dummies. It is a workout partner designed to improve and engage your young athlete.
