You're listening to the wrestling change my life podcast episode 88 with Max Asgren.

Man I've been television from the time I was in eighth grade. You know? I mean like when I say

you know I know you've probably heard Ben Sander and I were it's like he didn't take I had no days off and one day off

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 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, you wrestle save my life because it allowed me to focus and channel my energy.

We're fortunate if you wrestle because if you wrestle

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 they gave me one thing more than anything else it's mental toughness. It's a new no toughness.

It's a new year. It's still the same podcast.

Wrestling changed my life.
