Episode 159 of the Athletor Podcast features Dom Santoli, Head Coach of Bergen Catholic. In this conversation, Dom shares what changed when he moved from assistant coach to head coach and how the role demands far more than match preparation. He explains the daily operational challenges, from managing parents and assistant coaches to handling school issues, recruiting, and the details behind the scenes that most people never see.

Dom also talks about putting kids first. He breaks down why development, accountability, and community matter more than wins alone. From building strong relationships with alumni and families to fostering a year-round wrestling culture, he gives insight into how Bergen Catholic continues to compete at a high level while keeping perspective on what high school sports are truly about.
