Summary
Tyler Going's story is one every New Jersey wrestler can relate to. He wasn't the youth phenom. He wasn't the kid winning everything growing up. In fact, he lost a wrestle-off as a freshman and spent years watching teammates achieve goals he wanted for himself. But through consistency, offseason work, and a love for the sport, Tyler transformed himself into a New Jersey State Placewinner for Howell. In this episode, Tyler talks about: 🔥 Growing up in a Howell wrestling family 🔥 Losing a wrestle-off as a freshman 🔥 Wrestling over 100 offseason matches 🔥 Learning from teammates like Tanner and Luke 🔥 Making his breakthrough in Atlantic City 🔥 Why he doesn't believe in major weight cuts 🔥 The culture inside Howell Wrestling 🔥 The future of Howell's young team Tyler also shares hilarious stories from the Howell room, including Coach Gagliano's legendary pranks, the origin of his "Holy Breads" nickname, and why Howell truly is a wrestling town. If you're a fan of New Jersey high school wrestling, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and a reminder that success doesn't always come early—but hard work eventually gets rewarded. 🤼♂️ Howell Wrestling 🏆 New Jersey State Placewinner 📍 Shore Conference Wrestling 🔥 Wrestling Town USA ••Premier Sports Nutrition - Champion Athletes - https://champion-athletes.com 00:00 – Champion Athletes Nutrition Sponsor Segment 01:26 – Meet Howell State Placewinner Tyler Going 01:39 – Growing Up in a Howell Wrestling Family 02:27 – Wrestling, Baseball & Avoiding Burnout 03:04 – “I Was Never The Guy” Growing Up 03:34 – Why He Stuck With Wrestling 04:02 – The Reclass Year That Changed Everything 04:50 – Losing a Wrestle-Off as a Freshman 05:00 – Watching Teammates Succeed & Wanting More 05:43 – The Offseason That Changed His Career 06…
