Blog

Since 2008, Basch Solutions has been building custom websites and helping build the brands of some of the biggest names in wrestling. From Cael Sanderson, Jake Varner and Jordan Burroughs to Helen Maroulis, Jordan Oliver and David Taylor.

The list of wrestlers we’ve worked with includes a combined 12 World & Olympic Championships and over 30 combined NCAA Championships over the last decade plus.  

We’ve helped the best, and we want to help more.

I’m proud to announce today that we are sponsoring 5 NCAA and NAIA student-athletes: NCAA Champions Yianni Diakomihalis, David Carr and Roman Bravo-Young, NAIA Champion Peyton Prussin, and NCAA All-American Daniel Kerkvliet.  

With the new world of NIL and athletes being able to brand themselves earlier on and monetize their name, image and likeness, it’s important that athletes have someone like Basch Solutions and myself in their corner to mentor and guide them through the branding & marketing world.

Not everyone knows how to create a landing page or where to even start with a domain name. Not everyone, especially young student-athletes, have the time, money and resources to build and manage a professional website when training to be the best in the world.  On top of that, just the day-to-day of managing a personal brand in the spotlight can be difficult.

“Much gratitude to team Basch for being a sponsor of my career. Always go above and behind to help create more opportunities for me to grow. Good people and team to be a part of!” - Roman Bravo-Young

As God has been good to our company and to my family, it’s important to me that we continue to be good and help others in areas that we can, and this is one area I feel I can add value and help the sport. I believe the better our athletes do, the better our sport is viewed.

So, what does it mean?

I - Justin Basch - along with my talented team at Basch Solutions, will be building landing pages and/or custom websites, helping maintain and manage the websites, creating graphics, offering consulting and helping athletes with general brand and social strategies. In the simplest terms, I’m offering myself and my team as a resource to these athletes and to be in their corner.

We will also be able to leverage BASCHAMANIA, a rapidly growing wrestling podcast, to help promote these athletes on the podcast and on the Baschamania social media channels.

“I am very grateful for this sponsorship and opportunity to spread women's wrestling and help other people recognize the greatness of this sport. I am gratified to know that Basch Solutions is going to help and support me throughout my journey. I like to express my sincerest thanks to everyone apart of Basch Solutions. I am excited to see what the future holds.” - Peyton Prussin

The Athletes

I’m super excited to help this great group of athletes and while I’ve known some for years, and some not nearly as long, one thing is for sure, they are great wrestlers, and even better human beings, and I’m proud and grateful to be able to offer our professional services to them in the form of a sponsorship.
