On this episode of the podcast we chop it up with Kaleb Smith an incoming senior wrestler at College Park High School. Kaleb first caught my attention years ago as a junior high student who made friends with me based on our love for grappling. I believe he saw the cauliflower ear and knew that he had a kindred spirit in me. Fast forward a few years and him along with his brother Jacob became standouts in their schools wrestling program. Jacob would go on to win a state championship and wrestle in college. Kaleb on the other hand has wrestled masterfully but has come up a hair short in his race for the state crown. In his most recent state run he wrestled with a torn shoulder that would require surgery after the tourney. He has been on the shelf for 6 weeks now and chomping at the bit to get back on the mats. This down time has allowed him to rest and reflect on what he needs to get that elusive state crown. There is not a doubt in my mind that he will achieve his goal of becoming a state champion this upcoming year. He has the training partners, family support, and coaching staff to make the aspiration a reality. On top of that he is a good kid that comes from an awesome family. We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast with Kaleb Smith
