Tyler Tuttle started wrestling at the age of 3 years old for Nevada Elite Wrestling Club. He wanted to be just like his older brother, Tayden Tuttle, who also wrestles for the club. He wrestled in his first tournament shortly after he turned 4 and cried every match. He struggled his first season but continued to wrestle, (with of course some parent influence and candy bribes). Tyler wrestled in his first big tournament at the Freakshow in Las Vegas in the year of 2019 and got his first taste of the Podium at a National level. Since then he has been determined on the mat to win and wrestle to his best potential.
His support group goes deep. He has great Coaches; Coach Edward Sullivan, Coach Mumm, Coach Gonzalez, and he had Coach Sorgoni before he moved. Along his side he also has his brother and older wrestlers in the room who have pushed and inspired him through his wins and losses. His grandparents on both sides have shown him support locally and nationally as well. He works hard in the room and shows great discipline and grit. He has learned a lot over the past few years on controlling his emotions, good sportsmanship, discipline, respect, and determination. He’s been able to bring these qualities and mindsets that he has learned in the wrestling room to other sports, his academics, and at home. Over the years he has made great friends, who are like family, in the wrestling rooms and while traveling. He has traveled to California, Utah, Idaho, Missouri, and South Dakota. He has placed in all of these states, but some of his highlights are as follows:
Salt Lake Slam 2020 2nd Place Rocky Mountain Nationals 2020 3rd Place Cosmic Clash 2020 2nd Place Covid Crush 2020 1st Place Wild West 2021 2nd Place Summer Supreme Nationals 2021 1st Place Triple Crown State Champ 2022 WOW 2022 3rd Place Freaksow 2022 1st Place
His next big goals for wrestling are winning the Triple Crown again for State and the Wow. Tyler also plays travel baseball on the Muckdogs for Coach Bret Pagni. His coach always tries to recruit wrestlers because they are mentally and physically tough, and make great catchers! Tyler loves everything outdoors: dirt bike riding with his brother, lakes, beaches, hiking, camping, riding bikes, and belly flops!
As a parent we always say Tyler has the heart of a lion and the mindset of a champion. He works hard, loves hard, and is a natural leader! We are so excited to watch him grow with Nevada Elite Wrestling Club, and in other areas of his life. We are very blessed to be able to have great leaders in his life that will help him develop into a respectful, hardworking young man. We are also thankful to God for the ability to travel around the United States and spend quality time together as a family while watching him do what he is passionate for and loves!
