Help Anthony Get to Worlds '24!

Please meet Anthony Gomez, a 17-year-old from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Growing Up:

• As a kid, he loved building sandcastles at the beach and making friends at the park playing basketball.
• His biggest heroes were always his mom and dad. They instilled strong values in me and made sure I knew the difference between right and wrong.
• Facing challenges early on helped him develop grit and determination. He learned to overcome procrastination and take responsibility for his actions.

Finding his Passion:

• When COVID hit, gyms became his outlet. He trained hard, hitting the heavy bag and eventually joined a martial arts gym to learn the right way.
• Balancing school and training has been a journey, but we're proud of the consistency he's built.

Who He is:

• He's a fun-loving person who enjoys sharing laughs, but he also takes his training seriously.
• Anthony's ability to adapt and connect with different people is something we consider unique. His long hair might also turn a few heads!

Proud Moments:

• Balancing school and rigorous training.
• Consistently hitting the gym and staying dedicated.
• Contributing to changing a Wisconsin law to recognize Indigenous Peoples' Day instead of Columbus Day.

Team USA Aspirations:

• Representing Team USA at the World Games is a dream come true!
• He's eager to learn from experienced fighters and businessmen, gain international competition experience, and use this journey to guide his fighting career.

Let's connect and help Anthony chase those dreams together!
