With decades of leadership experience on and off the mat, Coach Coburn is committed to developing wrestlers the right way—technically, physically, and mentally.
Ken is the Head Wrestling Coach at Montgomery High School and the Director of Spring Hills Wrestling Club, where he has helped build one of the most respected and fast-growing programs in Northern California. Under his leadership, athletes have earned league titles, TOC qualifications, state placements, and national-level success, while learning the discipline and accountability required to excel beyond wrestling.
Coach Coburn has extensive experience developing youth, middle school, and high school wrestlers, with a strong emphasis on long-term athlete development. His programs are known for structured training, clear standards, and a culture rooted in hard work, humility, and team-first values. He believes that success on the mat is a byproduct of consistent effort, strong fundamentals, and high character.
In addition to his coaching background, Ken brings over 25 years of professional leadership and board experience, which influences his organized, intentional approach to program building and athlete mentorship. He places a high value on leadership, personal responsibility, and integrity—qualities he believes are just as important as wins and losses.
Coach Coburn is excited to partner with The Best Wrestler to provide athletes in the Santa Rosa area with elite coaching, proven development pathways, and opportunities to compete at the highest levels of the sport.

Trent is the Head Coach of the Future Olympian Program. He began wrestling at the age of four and competed for 16 years, developing a deep passion for the sport that continues to drive my coaching today.
Trent is a California State Medalist and Doc Buchanan Tournament placer. At the collegiate level, he wrestled for Clackamas Community College, where he became a 2x NJCAA All-American and was part of two NJCAA National Championship teams.
After completing his education at Clackamas, he committed himself to coaching and developing the next generation of wrestlers. He has been coaching competitive youth wrestling since 2023, with a focus on building technically sound, disciplined, and mentally tough athletes.
