From Fall River to the PRCA: How Bailey Small Turned Small-Town Roots into a Pro Rodeo Career
In this episode of North State Rocks, host Perry Thompson sits down with Bailey Small, a Fall River High School graduate and second-year PRCA professional saddle bronc rider. Bailey traces his path from juggling six sports in high school to earning a 4.0 GPA in his master's program at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas… and ultimately competing on the national rodeo circuit.
Bailey opens up about the moment he nearly quit his freshman year of college, the friendship that pulled him back on course, and the goal-setting habit that has guided every step of his career. He also details his return from a serious knee injury sustained in Pueblo, Colorado, and shares the visualization routine he uses before every single ride.
Listeners will hear what it actually takes to build a pro rodeo career from the North State, why small-town coaches and community support matter more than most people realize, and what it means to compete at 100 rodeos a year with the National Finals Rodeo in your sights. Follow Bailey on Facebook and catch his rides on the Cowboy Channel.
