AL State Champ Noah Breeland - Wrestling Mindset Success Story

Gene Zannetti talks with Alabama state champion Noah Breeland about starting mindset training halfway through his sophomore season after his granddad saw it and signed him up, the adjustments he made senior year by changing his entire warm-up and preparation routine so he wasn't overthinking the match for hours before it, using a mid-season loss early in senior year as a learning moment rather than a repeat of the year before, and why the Dan Gable quote about wrestling making everything else in life easier is one of the truest things he's ever heard.
