Show Notes

Ben Askren is a wrestling and MMA superhero. One of the most dominant college wrestlers in history, Askren became a folk hero during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, before going on to become a multiple-time MMA champion and one of the sport's biggest stars. He founded the Askren Wrestling Academy, one of the premier wrestling programs in the country that regularly churns out champions at all levels. A Reformed Sports Project Advisory Board Member, Askren joins Nick to discuss his academy's unconventional approach to developing young athletes, how competitors lock in mentally, and why he prioritizes effort over performance in youth sports.
