We can adore anything and adapt and pivot and change, wrestling gave us that ability.

I would say that nothing in life has impacted me or that 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 to the sport of wrestling.

For me, wrestling's ain't 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 how to adapt, you learn how to solve problems.

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

it's mental toughness.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Wrestling Change My Life podcast.

This is your host, Ryan Warner. It's Monday, June 12th.

Our guest today is Brian Medlin, fresh off Final X. We recap Final X. We recap the Illinois

RTC's performance. The Illinois RTC put two guys on the world team, Zach Bronigal and
