This is Undaunted Life A Man's Podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.

All right guys today. We got a special guest on the podcast. His name is Hardell Moore.

So that guy is one of my favorite people on the planet earth he's actually my neighbor

but that's not the reason why I'm talking to him I know I've told people before

that I'm not just gonna interview random people on the podcast like here's my

barber here's my neighbor here's my lawn guy but this guy is an exceptional

human being he wrestled for Oklahoma State so that is the pre-eminent wrestling

program in the history of a collegiate wrestling he wrestled there in the mid to late

90s he is a two-time all-American, but the thing about this guy is he did an amazing, he had an amazing career while he was in college, right? He was a national runner-up in 1998, and we certainly get into that in the interview, but he's spent

the last 20-plus years coaching.

And here's the deal is anytime you're a national level, like a national title level

wrestler or level anything football

player squash player whatever the situation might be it's not always a

easy transition into coaching some of the best people ever at their sport

are they're just horrific at

coaching right so there are some baseball players that came to mind like Ted

Williams tried his hand at kind of being a hitting coach but the thing with

Ted Williams is his eyes were just different there There was just something different about that guy.

So he couldn't just teach people how to do the things that he was able to do because

they just didn't have the skills that he had.

But the thing about Hardell Moore is he's been able to transition and the transition I won't say it was easy but we also get into that here in the interview

But he's been the last 20 years turning this this small kind of Oklahoma club into the OWA, Oklahoma Wrestling Academy.
