We talk Iowa State RTC practices, lessons learned there, community, and the mental side of the sport of wrestling.

In this special episode, Levi joins us to talk about time traveling for Ryne's STEM writing final project. We get a little too deep while exploring Einstein's theory of relativity, talk paradoxes, movies that involve time traveling, Adam Sandler's baggy clothes, the fourth dimension, and some wrestling stories to end. This one bounces around a lot so buckle up for a ride! 

In this episode, we have a conversation with Jasper about our beards, country music, answer a would you rather, debate Grizzly bear vs Gorilla, lifting, and of course just a little bit of wrestling at the end.

In this episode, we react to the Olympic Trials results, talk some rugby results from the weekend, and finally talk potential rule changes that could come from this week's NCAA rules committee meeting (and Ryne gets a little fired up about stalling).

Time Stamps:

0:00 - Olympic Trials, 30:00 - Weekend Rugby Talk, 38:15 - Wrestling Rule Changes

In this episode, Shandon Akeo joins us to talk about his life growing up with wrestling and how he adapted to wrestling/life with his arm. It is a great story about overcoming adversity and doing the hard work to succeed. We also recap D3 nationals a bit and talk about some of the events that happened there.

In this episode, we introduce the podcast, announce future plans, and thank some of the people that make the Mat Cleaning Crew run smoothly. Thanks for listening!
