Legacy Wrestling Academy Coaching Staff
Austin Goergen (Coach)
Coaching the next generation of kids is going to be amazing. I am thankful for family, friends, and all the parents that are willing to support our program and trust us working with there kids! I also want to thank Colton and Noah for also wanting the same end goal as myself to make Legacy Wrestling Academy into something special and a place where all wrestlers feel at home. I also have had a great opportunity in life for my father to start a K- 8 program (LAW) that has been going for 32 years and is continuing to grow and has shaped me into the wrestler and coach I am today, and also got the opportunity to coach at that program for three years. Noah, Colton, and I just wanted to give an opportunity to these kids to train and become the best can be all year around!

Coltan Laganiere (Coach)
Giving back to the sport of wrestling has been a passion of mine for the past 10 years. I have had the privilege of coaching many youth and high school kids in the Southeast Minnesota area. I grew up wrestling for Kasson Mantorville where I achieved two Minnesota Highshool state titles and was a member of the 2013 State Championship team. In college, I wrestled for South Dakota State and RCTC. I earned All American honors at RCTC and was a member of the 2017 National Championship team. While at RCTC, I helped Rochester John Marshall with their youth team and I developed a love for coaching. I had tons of great mentors and coaches that influenced me in a positive direction through the sport of wrestling. Wrestling has provided me many opportunities and life lessons that I still utilize today. I look forward to passing on my knowledge and helping grow the sport of wrestling in a positive way through coaching.

Noah Ryan (Coach)
Coaching the next generation of wrestlers is an incredible experience. I am forever grateful for the mentors who pushed me to set and achieve my own goals, and I consider them family. I have been very fortunate to be coached by some of the best and trained with the best as well, and now look forward to being a role model and coach for the next generation. It's truly something special to see kids work so hard for a goal that they have in mind, and I take a lot of pride in trying to put them in positions to succeed! After settling in St. Charles MN I started my own club, Ryan Wrestling Academy, and really loved seeing where it was headed. Having two great coaches in Austin and Coltan help full time with Legacy Wrestling is really special. We all share the same mindset and what we think will help these wrestlers not only succeed on the mat, but off the mat as well.
