  • Bonus Episode: Ryan Deakin on The Mindset Experience Podcast- Why You'll Never Regret the Sprints

    Ryan Deakin’s first impressions of wrestling were spot on: it was tough, it looked different, and he could directly affect the outcome. His work ethic set a foundation for success where he won the state title as a 10th grader in high school. The next year, he lost his state finals match in overtime to someone he had previously beaten. Instead of challenging his identity, he appreciated the major loss that enabled him to see that he was much more than just a wrestler who had unconditional support and love from his family. Free of pressure, he won another state title as a senior. What followed was a historic career where he became an NCAA D1 National Champion, 4X NCAA D1 All-American, 3X Big Ten Champion, 2X Northwestern male Athlete of the year, and 2020 and 2022 Hodge Trophy Finalist awarded to the best collegiate wrestler in the Nation. He has also experienced success at the international level where he won US Open National Freestyle Title in 2017 and 2019 and won a silver medal for Team USA in the Junior World Championships. Ryan shares the mindset that allowed him to accomplish success on the mat, in the classroom as a 5X Academic All-American and Big Ten Medal of Honor recipient but most impressively as a 5X team captain at Northwestern University. He works hard, he leads by example, and he never questions the tough things because he believes no matter the outcome, “you will never regret the sprints.”
