In Episode 129 of the Athletor Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Ruschell, Head Coach at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Kyle shares his journey from a standout athlete in Kentucky to leading a D1 program in the heart of the South. He talks about the lessons he’s taken from his time at Wisconsin, how he’s building a strong culture at UTC, and what it takes to recruit and develop talent in a non-traditional wrestling region.
We also get into the importance of authenticity in coaching, the power of consistency, and the challenges that come with growing a program outside the Big Ten spotlight. Whether you're a coach, athlete, or wrestling fan, this conversation offers real insight into what it takes to build something special from the ground up.
