What if starting a sport in high school could still lead you to championship glory? Join us as we chat with Jordon Tague, who made a triumphant switch from baseball to wrestling later than most and quickly rose to the top. Discover how he went undefeated in JV, clinched multiple championships at Winter Springs High School, and leveraged his passion and outstanding coaching to find success at both Coker College and Notre Dame College. Jordon's story is a testament to the power of determination and love for the sport, providing invaluable insights for anyone curious about the challenges and benefits of starting later.
But that's not all—this episode dives into the world of college athletics and Olympic dreams, featuring a wrestler and a swimmer who share their unique journeys. Hear about the swimmer's inspiring recovery from a shoulder injury to achieve success at Bethany College, and the wrestler's path to securing a spot at Notre Dame despite fierce competition. We'll also explore the multifaceted training required in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), with our guest offering a glimpse into his preparation for an upcoming title fight. All this, plus a spirited debate on whether NSYNC or Backstreet Boys reign supreme, makes for an episode packed with passion, resilience, and good-natured rivalry.
