Let's Talk Wrestling episodes:

June 22, 2022 Talking Wrestling with Major Stephen Crozier
Steve Crozier is a MAJOR deal. Not only is Steve a Major in the United States Air Force, but he was also a major deal on the mat. He could be labeled a late bloomer, finishing 3rd at the Iowa high school state wrestling tournament his senior year. But he went on to compete for the Air Force Academy, qualified for nationals his junior year and even won a match. He’s now currently a pilot for the United States Air Force. And I’m lucky enough to have him as a brother-in-law. Steve has always been a hard worker, both on and off the mat, and I’m honored to showcase his story on my podcast. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Major Stephen Crozier!

June 15, 2022 Talking Wrestling with Trent Weatherman
When I first decided to start this podcast, one of the first wrestlers that came to mind was Trent Weatherman. He was one of the biggest names I remember hearing about growing up. He was a 5x AAU state champion. He followed that up by being a 4x Iowa high school state finalist and 2x state champion while wrestling for Ballard Huxley. I remember my dad always saying he looked like a man amongst boys out there. He went on to compete for the Iowa State Cyclones where, unfortunately, injuries cut his career short. He’s now grown himself into a very successful businessman. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Trent Weatherman!

June 09, 2022 Talking Wrestling with Andrew Rodas
I’ve known Andrew since we were kids. We grew up together, traveling to little kids tournaments before competing on the same high school team, the MFL MarMac Bulldogs. Andrew was a 3x Iowa high school state qualifier, placing 5th as a junior and 3rd as a senior. He was also a real competitor on the gridiron. After high school, he went on to both wrestle and play football at division II Southwest Minnesota State. I don’t care what level it is, if you play two sports in college, you’re a pretty special talent. I can’t say enough nice things about Andrew, both as a person and an athlete. He works hard and has always gone about his business the right way. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Andrew Rodas!

June 01, 2022 Talking Wrestling with Cole Welter
Cole Welter was a 3x state champ and 4x state placewinner while competing for one of the best prep programs Iowa has to offer, the Don Bosco Dons. He then went on to wrestle for one of the best Division III programs in the country, the Wartburg Knights, where he was a 3x national qualifier and a national champion his senior year. And believe it or not, his teams...never...lost. While in high school, Cole’s wrestling team won both traditional and dual team state titles every year. And while in college at Wartburg, Cole’s wrestling team won both the national duals and team title every year. Coincidence? I think not! Needless to say, this dude is a winner. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Cole Welter!

May 24, 2022 Talking Wrestling with Trevor Franklin
Trevor Franklin was a force at the DII level. He was a 2x national champ for Upper Iowa University, winning it at both 125 and 133 while also being named the 2011-2012 NCAA Division II Wrestler of the Year. Franklin is from South New Berlin, New York, where he won a state title competing for Unadilla Valley High School. Another great story from another great person. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Trevor Franklin!

April 23, 2022 Talking Wrestling with Willie Miklus
Willie is a flat-out stud! He competed at powerhouse programs Ballard Huxley and Southeast Polk in Iowa. He's a 4x state finalist and 2x state champ. He then went on to excel at the University of Missouri before finishing his college career back in the great state of Iowa at Iowa State University. He's a 4x All-American, placing at both 184 and 197 lbs. He’s currently an Assistant Coach at Michigan State University. I had a lot of fun talking with Willie. Despite all the accolades, the guy is as humble as they come and just a great person. With that being said, please sit back, relax and enjoy, Willie Miklus!

April 05, 2022 Talking Wrestling with Jacob Hartwig
Jacob was actually a classmate and high school teammate of mine at Monticello high school in Iowa. I’m excited to feature Jacob on the podcast because he embodies the journey of the common wrestler. He qualified for state his senior year, but was never the top guy on the team. He came into practice, worked hard every day and continued to get better. He eventually joined the Marines and even wrestled in a couple tournaments while stationed in Japan. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Jacob Hartwig!

Brandyn wrestles 184 pounds for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and is from Mapleton, Utah. I’m excited to feature Brandyn on the podcast because his story is rather unique. After high school, Brandyn took time off to go on a 2 year mission trip before returning to the sport of wrestling. In this episode, we dive into his mission trip, how he stayed in shape while he was away plus much more! So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Brandyn Van Tassell!

February 28, 2022 BONUS EPISODE: Talking Gymnastics with Genesis Gibson
This is a very special BONUS episode as Genesis is a gymnast for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from Prosper, TX. I’m excited to feature Genesis on the podcast as there are many similarities between the sport of wrestling and the sport of gymnastics. I also found her journey to be very similar to that of a wrestler or one that any individual competing athlete might encounter. In this episode, we dive in about her injuries, finding her way back from those injuries, and making the Ecuador National Team. Enjoy!
