Welcome to the show folks this is wrestling changed my life here we go that journey is so fun you know those those daily crimes with your teammates you know the road trips I mean all that stuff is is is so fun and it's I mean it's crazy when it leads up to that you know that one moment

that you have to have to really perform and perform better than you've ever

performed.

We can endure anything and adapt and pivot and change. Wrestling gave us that ability.

I would say nothing in life has impacted me

more than the things wrestling has taught me in terms of self-reflection

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

adversity 100% how to pick myself up and be a man after I failed and everything that

is 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, taught 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, I could wrestling.

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

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to wrestling change my life.

Warner my guest is Steve Marinetti the pride and joy of the fighting in line
