I’m a 27 year old grad student about to start my masters degree and about to start wrestling on the NCWA club team at my school. I didn’t start wrestling until around 2 years ago and I’ve only trained and competed with a club team for adults. Since I don’t have any experience wrestling in high school or anything, I’m a bit clueless on how to train effectively to compete at even the lowest levels of collegiate wrestling.

I will be working full time while in grad school, so when I train I need to effectively utilize what little time I have. I’m in okay shape and wrestle 2 to 3 days a week (and finish every practice with live rounds) but don’t do any serious lifting or cardio outside of practice. What are some effective routines or guides I should be looking at for lifting and cardio focused towards wrestlers? Any supplements you’ve found useful for training and competing at this level?

I obviously can’t bridge the entire skill/experience gap over the summer but I want to hit the training as hard (and as smart) as possible over the summer to put myself in the best position possible for when I start in the fall.

I just got my acceptance letter for University of Maryland’s Public Administration masters program, which has been a goal of mine for a while. I’ve had to overcome a lot in my life and I’m so proud of this accomplishment. I barely graduated high school with a 1.99 GPA due to trauma/struggles with my disability and I had a hard time getting into undergrad anywhere.

I eventually ended up having to do a year at community college before I could get accepted at a less prestigious state school (ASU) but I eventually graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in political science. I eventually achieved my dream of working for the government and I’m now attempting to climb the ranks into leadership. Now with a lot of luck and hard work I got into one of the better MPA programs out there. I’m so excited to start my journey to leadership, people like me are massively underrepresented in leadership roles and I’m excited to help change that!

I’m a current 0080 with CBP OPR and currently considering other work due to the funding instability with DHS. I recently had a recruiter from the EEOC view my resume on USAJobs and reach out about an Investigator role in my area, even preemptively offering to interview me if I’m interested in the position.

When I looked into the position, a lot of the investigative responsibilities sound very similar to the civil enforcement equivalent of an 1811. I am disabled (Autism and ADHD) and have suffered employment related discrimination previously, so the mission of the agency is something I’m passionate about.

Would this be a good position to build a resume for an 1811 position? If I do get a final offer should I take that or should I stay at CBP?
