Mike Zadick discusses his project, Benchmark Wrestling.

In the heart of Augusta, Montana, a transformative project is taking shape - Benchmark Wrestling. Spearheaded by Mike Zadick, this project isn't just about wrestling; it's about community, wellness, and legacy.

Inspired by his father Bob Zadick’s memory, Mike salvaged the steel of the family dealership, Holiday Motors, to lay the foundation for Benchmark Wrestling. This repurposed space will honor his father's legacy while creating a dynamic community center for all ages. Services will include team camps, corporate retreats, nutritional seminars, ADD physical health and mental health, law enforcement training/self-defense classes, regular monthly memberships and wrestling club memberships.

The focus for this project extends beyond the wrestling mat. With plans to host physical therapy, assist with the needs of the elderly in the surrounding areas, bring in top-level athletes to connect with the kids, this project is about inclusivity. An aquatic pool for therapy is also on the horizon, enhancing wellness opportunities for all.

The project also aims to bring children in the community closer to high-level athletes. Zadick mentioned that one of his goals for Benchmark Wrestling is to inspire children by showing them that their goals and dreams are not out of reach. Beyond wrestling, this community center will offer a variety of services, from corporate retreats to mental health seminars.

As construction progresses, Benchmark Wrestling isn't just about sports. The project plans to bring people together, at all ages, connecting with top athletes and helping local kids chase their dreams. It is an amazing example of how community projects can improve our future.
