On this week's episode, we sit down with Franklin & Marshall College wrestler James Conway — one of the most compelling upper-weight stories in the country. James opens up about his late start in the sport, getting his footing through a steep learning curve as a freshman, and how a pivotal post-tournament conversation with his coach sparked a total mindset shift that launched him from a .500 record to one of the best in his weight class.
James gets real about the difference between chasing outcomes versus chasing growth — and how deliberately "brainwashing" himself to focus on process over results, applying to med school during his redshirt year, and building an ironclad daily routine all came together to fuel a breakout senior season. If you're a wrestler, a coach, or anyone trying to get out of their own way and compete at the next level, this one is for you.
