Matt wrestled at Apple Valley High School, where he was a 3x Minnesota High School state champion. He stayed in-state and wrestled for the University of Minnesota. Matt finished his college career wrestling one semester at Minnesota State, where he placed 3rd at the DII National Championships. He’s now the head coach at SOARR wrestling located in Minnetonka, MN. I loved chatting with Matt and listening to his story. There were several times when Matt faced adversity and, instead of giving up, he chose to battle through and it paid off for him. He’s a great example of why I started doing this and what this podcast is all about. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Matt Mincey!

Beat the Streets National Information: I have partnered with Gina Perry and Beat the Streets National in hopes to help raise money for their GearUp! campaign. The GearUp! campaign aims to provide youth with a new pair of wrestling shoes, head gear, and workout clothing. We've all been touched by wrestling in some shape or form, so now let us provide the same gift wrestling gave us to those who need it most. You can donate at national.beatthestreets.org/letstalkwrestling or help spread the word about the GearUp! campaign. Thank you so much for your support!
