Welcome to the show folks. This is wrestling changed my life. Here we go.

And he told me he says, you know, if you want to be really good, he says your goal has to be 50 pull-ups, 50

chips and 200 push-ups each day and then another 200 pushhips before you go to bed. So 400 pushhips a day and

then 50 pull-ups and 50 chin-ups. I did that every day except competition.

We can endure anything and adapt and pivot and change.

Wrestling gave us that ability.

I would say nothing in life has impacted me or the things wrestling has taught me in terms of

self-reflection, resilience.

Toughness. Some guys have it, some guys don't.

Adversity, 100% how to pick myself up and be a man after I failed.

And everything that has shaped my life and where I'm at today would not be there without the values and basically the

lessons I've learned through the sport of wrestling.

For me, wrestling saved my life because it allowed me to focus and channel my energy.

We're fortunate if you wrestled because if you wrestled

natural talent helps, but it's 5% of the ingredient. It pales in comparison to heart and technique and effort.

It humbled me. Thought me humility. Nothing can humble you more than wrestling.

I think it's the learning to adapt, right? You learn, you learn how to adapt, you learn how to solve problems.

You know, if I look back my time, that's good wrestling.

If it gave me one thing more than anything else, it's a mental toughness.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's a legend alert today.

We got Mark Chorella on the podcast.

Mark was a three-time national champ from Michigan in the 70s and a four-time all-American.
