As the program nears the end of its 10th year in existence, what's been the secret sauce that's helped his team win? An Iowa native, Mitchell never won a state championship or Division III title, but was part of Wartburg's 1999 NCAA Division III Championship team and learned under coach Jim Miller.

While transfers are regular, Mitchell explains his theory and philosophy on giving kids second chances and what he's learned from the process, both on the good and bad side of it.

WWR36: 1972 Olympic Champions Dan Gable and Ben Peterson talk hydration and recount weight changes 10/27/2016

WWR36: 1972 Olympic Champions Dan Gable and Ben Peterson talk hydration and recount weight changes Nearly 20 years ago, the sport of college wrestling was rocked by deaths of three college athletes as they tried to cut weight. Billy Saylor, Joe LaRosa and Jeff Reese all died after massive dehydration complicated by the use of legal, yet mostly untested supplements. The result was sweeping change from the NCAA, including moving dual meet weigh-ins to one hour before and banning of anything related to weight loss that wasn't simply a product of hard work. Rubber suits, something advertised in wrestling magazines since the 1960's became illegal everywhere, not just at the site of competition. The use of saunas, while still beneficial according to some, was also banned. On Episode 36 of the World Wrestling Resource podcast, we'll talk with a pair of 1972 Olympic Champions, Ben Peterson and Dan Gable, about the situation with hydration and wrestlers from 1997, what changes occurred, what still needs to happen and where the finger should have been pointed.
