Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new sponsor in the podcast today. It's Athletic Greens. Athletic Greens is a supplement that I've been using even before they were a sponsor of the podcast.

It's a daily supplement that you put into a glass of water in the morning. You take one scoop of Athletic Greens, throw it in a glass of water, and with that you're covered on your daily vitamins and minerals.

It also contends a bunch of probiotics. I've just really enjoyed Athletic Greens, and it saves me the hassle of taking a bunch of vitamins, and it also tastes super good.

And now that Athletic Greens is a sponsor of this podcast, if you go to Athletic Greens.com slash WCML, you can get a free one-year supply of vitamin D as well as five free travel packs.

So check it out Athletic Greens.com slash WCML. It's the perfect supplement for any young wrestler who's looking to get their vitamins and daily greens covered. Check it out Athletic Greens.com slash WCML. Now let's get to the show.

It was just, we're going to do it this way, and it became Tiger Style, the culture. We didn't have the name for it yet, but it was, we're going to live this certain way, and we're going to do things a certain way, and you're going to follow it.

And so we started with small things, which has taken the stairs. There's an elevator that comes up to our fourth floor, but basketball and volleyball where the wrestling room is now used to be a gym, and they would take the elevator. I'm like, we're going to take the stairs.

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.

Stop this. 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 to the sport of wrestling.

For me, wrestling is saying a life because it allowed me to focus and channel my energy.

Well, fortunate if you wrestled because if you wrestled, natural talent helps, but it's 5% of the ingredients. 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 how to adapt, you learn how to solve problems.

Now, if I look back my time, that's good wrestling. If they give me one thing more than anything else, that's toughness.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Wrestling Change My Life podcast. This is your host, Ryan Warner.

Our guest today is the head coach of the University of Missouri, Brian Smith.

Coach Smith has created a dynasty since taking over at Missouri in 1998.

They won 11 straight conference championships. They had a national champ this year in one Kegan O'Toole.

They've had two Olympians, Ben Asker and Jaden Cox, and this is all developed again from nothing folks.

Missouri had like five losing seasons in a row when Coach Smith took over.
