As a Wisconsin Badger fan and a former Ohio HS wrestler who had deep ties with DeSales wrestling this podcast is literally music to my ears!

I wrestled for seven years in my youth, and I agree that it's a physical and mental sport on its own level. When it comes to beating a guy in front of you in football, it helps when you've spent many years trying to be another man on the mat.
