Show Notes

What's up podcast fans? You're in for a real treat today as my guest is someone I've known and competed against since my Pop Warner football days. Meet Coach Scott Goodale, the head wrestling coach at Rutgers University. His story from taking a program from near extinction to a perennial national power is nothing short of extraordinary. In 13-years at the helm, Coach Goodale has developed 2-national champions, 10 All-Americans, and he's the winningest coach in Rutgers history with 173 victories.

In this episode, Scott shares how we went from his "dream job" of teaching and coaching in high school to a chance 6-hour interview to resurrect a collegiate program that was not far from being eliminated. He shares his philosophy on building a winning culture, his best practices, the "turning point" for Rutgers wrestling, and what drives him and his teams to be great. Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show!

Please share this episode with your friends, family, and community as I know it can help positively IMPACT people. Be sure to tag me @ToddDurkin and tag Coach Goodale on Twitter and IG at @CoachGoodale.
