AWA Co-Owner and Co-Founder (Among many other things) Ben Askren joins Teague and Vision Quest host Brad Crook to discuss some details in his new book, "Funky"! We talk about some big moments from his high school career from generating interest on the Wisconsin Wrestling Online forum, to some of his closer matches throughout his high school career. We then discuss sports psychology, amongst what being great actually means, how one responds to a loss, and how wrestlers can become better teammates for their high school/club teams!
