A-Tsi-La “G” McIntosh had been wrestling since the age of five and quickly became one of the most accomplished young wrestlers in the country. A six-time State Champion, “G” was also a United States Junior Open Champion, a two-time Adidas Wrestling Nationals Champion, and a three-time All-American at Adidas Nationals. Known for his dominance on the mat, he was named “Outstanding Wrestler” at multiple tournaments and competed on numerous national dual teams alongside elite athletes from across the nation.

“G” was a multi-style wrestler, holding state titles in Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman — a rare and impressive achievement. He currently attends Glenpool Public Schools in Tulsa County, OK, where he balances academic life with a demanding training schedule. “G” is a dedicated student and plans to continue his wrestling career at the collegiate level, with hopes of one day coaching or mentoring the next generation of Native youth athletes.

Proud of his Indigenous heritage, “G” represents the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Cherokee Nation, and Yuchi Tribe. Raised in ceremonial culture since birth, he comes from the Yuchi Polecat Ceremonial Grounds in Kellyville, Oklahoma — a place that remains central to his identity and spiritual foundation.
Family and faith are core to “G”’s life. He comes from a large, close-knit, and supportive family that has been a constant presence throughout his athletic journey. He believes deeply in staying grounded, not just as a competitor, but as a person.

“G” also values balance. Outside of wrestling, he enjoys being outdoors — whether it’s around a campfire, in the woods, or simply surrounded by family and nature. This time helps him reset and stay centered amid the pressures of high-level competition.

While he trains with relentless discipline and pushes himself to elite levels, “G” knows being a true champion means more than winning — it’s about mindset, humility, and knowing who you are. Champions are built through consistency — in every part of life. Whether it’s training, school, or family. Staying consistent builds confidence, and confidence is the foundation of success on and off the mat.
