Fifth Annual Greg Strobel Leadership Academy 30-Day Challenge starts Friday, February 21st
by Greg Strobel Leadership Academy
The Greg Strobel Leadership Academy (GSLA), in partnership with USA Wrestling, continues to embody the core values of Accountability, Discipline, Family, and a Lifetime of Good Habits.
This year’s GSLA 30-Day Challenge starts this week and will run from February 21, 2025, through March 22, 2025.
We encourage you to participate and get involved as a single participant or being a part of a team, both of which involve getting sponsors to support your efforts. Alternatively, please feel free to give as an individual contributor. The link to give is located below.
"Each year as we start the 30-Day Challenge, I am honored and grateful to be a part of this; we knew my dad's work wasn't finished and this is a great way to keep his legacy alive. This year, the focus is on building healthy habits, and I am excited to lead a team to work toward personal goals while helping to raise money for the GSLA. The Greg Strobel Leadership Academy has been able to support so many athletes and coaches with the help of our past donors and I am hopeful that with this year's annual fundraiser, we will be able to expand our efforts in providing additional resources to our elite athletes and coaches in the years to come." ~ Christine Napoli, Greg’s Daughter
This year is all about improvement and exemplifying “A Lifetime of Good Habits”. What will be your margin of improvement over 30-days? Calculations will be based on the percentage of improvement from where you started on Day 1 versus Day 30. The five categories for this year’s challenge are listed below.
- Pull-ups
- Push-ups
- Burpees
- Sit-ups
- Timed mile (run or walk)
Day 1 is your baseline. Day 30 showcases your improvement. The goal this year is all about filling the gap. Improvements will be calculated as a percentage. For example, if you are able to do five burpees on Day 1 and eleven burpees on Day 30, your percentage increase is 120%. Another example, if you are able to do 50 sit-ups today and end the challenge with 75, your percentage increase is 50%.
For the purpose of calculating overall improvement, all percentages will be translated into decimals. All decimal scores will be added together for both individual and team scores.
As far as tracking your progress physically, that is up to you and your team. Teams consist of no more than five people, including the team organizer. Please ask your sponsors to reference your team name, if applicable, when submitting to Good World. Please use the Good World link below to register, create a team, sponsor a participant or donate directly. You can also text GSLA25 to 888.335.6020 to donate.

The GSLA is committed to filling the “gap” and providing the opportunity to lift up leaders in the sport of wrestling as a result of their character, leadership, voice, and how they excel on and off the mat. We are very excited about what we are able to accomplish this year as a collective group.
