Summary
Gene Zannetti talks with World Team member and Virginia Tech assistant coach James Green about preparing for the World Championships after a season of injuries that made wrestling feel like the easy part, why he stopped visualizing domination and started visualizing the hard moments so nothing on the mat catches him off guard, the mindset shift from grinding himself down with weight cuts to managing sleep, recovery, and nutrition as the real competitive edge, and how coaching unlocked a fourth dimension of the sport by forcing him to watch every weight class and accept styles outside his own.
