WWR57: Grand View's Nick Mitchell on building the Championship Lifestyle
Nick Mitchell has built what he calls a Championship Lifestyle at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa. On Episode 57 of the World Wrestling Resource Podcast, we talk with the Wartburg alum who has led the Vikings to six NCAA Division III championships in a row and seven National Duals titles in a row. 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. Mitchell explains the struggles in the early years to find the right blend of athlete to thrive in a place that'd never had wrestling. 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.

WWR49: Lee Kemp burns the ships, discusses 1980, Dave Schultz and race in wrestling
Lee Kemp is one of the finest wrestlers the world has ever known. A three-time NCAA Division I champion at Wisconsin and a four-time finalist, Kemp won three World championships and four World medals. Kemp has a new book called Winning Gold: Success Secrets of a World Champion available at where he breaks down stories and nuggets that he's penned over the years that helped him be a success on the mat and in business. On Episode 49 of the World Wrestling Resource podcast, we go deep into the mind of Kemp and talk about life growing up as an adopted African-American moving from the city to rural Ohio, wrestling Dan Gable, his attempts at the Olympics, the 1980 boycott as well as race and its role in his life and in the sport of wrestling. Kemp also shares stories he's never told on the record about wrestling a young Dave Schultz in front of absolutely no one to make an Olympic team -- one that never competed.

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.
