Timestamps: 5:52 - Wrestled free with no expectations at U23 World Trials 10:59 - Lowest seed with the most losses of any All-American 11:44 - Doing all the right things but still not competing to his capability 14:14 - Dennis Hall's Greco fundamentals built his hand-fighting foundation 21:45 - Chose North Dakota State on gut instinct 25:13 - Big 12 breakthrough: avenged a loss and punched his ticket to nationals 29:06 - Lost his first match at nationals, let it go, rode the backside to All-American 35:55 - Biggest lesson: you have control over what you feed yourself 🎯 This episode is sponsored by: 🥗 Eat Clean Bro – eatcleanbro.com Use code MINDSET for 15% off your order 💪 Champion Athletes Sports Nutrition – champion-athletes.com Use code MINDSET25 for a special discount Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the podcast and go through the archives to hear more great episodes.
